        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?
