      Gareth,
      I too had some difficulty initially with scaling in Layout.
      I am assuming you are talking about your SU model scale.
      A couple points:
      Make sure scale remains as desired, after any adjustments to model view.
      Make sure view is Parallel Projection.
      Oh...& make sure printer is not resising to fit page.

      Beyond this I would really be guessing.
      Can you post files?

        Hi Charlie,

        Actually the problem is when I draw a Site Plan, or Floor Plan. A Model doesn't concern me because it is more a matter of sizing it proportionbally on the Layout page.

        An example would be if I import it it into Layout and set the scale of say 1:100 for a Floor Plan or 1:200 for a Site Plan.

        It should be simple, but when I print the PDF, the scale is quite different from the scale I have selected....even though it looks nice...!!

        Cheers,

        Gareth

          Can you attach some skp file(s), layout file(s) and pdf file(s) that demonstrate this problem?
