      I dawned on me that I could use styles to help with picking a view.

      What I've done here is to create a PNG that is A3 in size/proportion with a 20mm boarder. I've divided it vertically and horizontally into 3rds (rule of 3rds) and popped in a couple of diagonal lines.

      The style is the default SU settings with the image as a watermark over the model space.

      My intention is to use it to pick/setup the view then switch to another style before saving the view.

      I've attached both A3 landscape and A3 portrait.

        It sounds innovative- is this to allow you to export images to scale at specific paper formats or is it to allow easier/better artistic composition of images?

                Hi Paul, just wondering how you did this....?
                Was it just a vector file that was saved as .png?

                Thanks in advance....

                  This is interesting Paul, could it be used as a sort of scale paperspace?

                    This is genius! And greatly helps me with similar I am experimenting with . . I am convinced that 'Layout' can be acheived within Sketchup itself . . .
