Make a 1:50 pdf?

Is there a easy way of making a 1:50 PDF from a floor plan in ketchup?
I need it to poster print
THANKS!

Well with ketchup I would recommend spaghetti or chips...
With sketchup however you have several ways:
1 - Using Layout wich is available with sketchup pro would be the best choice;
2 - Ploting a file using a pdf printer from within Sketchup would be the next best choice if you're using a free version. -
HAHAHA.. ketchup....
Well I tried with LO but it seemed to me that you'r limited by standart paper sizes, so I can't bring in a model in one piece, then scale it down over, per example, 2 A3 sheets and then export as one PDF file.. (does this make any sense?)
-
In LO's Document SetUp set the paper size to twice the size of A3. Then setup your view and export the PDF. When you print the PDF on A3 paper, make sure you are printing full size and it'll print on multiple sheets.
You could also leave the page size set to A3 and just copy the viewport to a second page. Set Up the viewport for the first page to show one half of the model and the other viewport to show the other half.
I frequently show parts that are divided to cut out the middle section by using two copies of the same viewport next to each other. In that case, I set the left viewport to show the left end of the part or parts and the right hand viewport to show the right end. It works quite well for me.

Hi pisosse, hi folks.
If you use the Help menu from SketchUp, then choose the Knowledge Center and then type printing to scalein the search field and then click on the first hyper link, you shall eventually find this:
The 1:50 scale can be set in the dialog window.
When printing, select a pdf printer to produce a pdf file.
Just ideas.
