O.K. This is a simple project for a person who only got sketchup because I can do a floor plan and that's all I need. I have no CAD program.

The only way I can get a printed copy of the plan is to zoom in so it all shows on the screen. Than it prints very small on one sheet of paper. To export as a JPG I have to do the same thing. It uses maybe a third of the paper size with lots of white space to the top, the right and the bottom.

I simply cannot figure out how to get the thing to print a larger area and use more than one sheet. It will not print anything that does not show on the screen.

Also, one other weird thing. The window in sketchup has no scroll bars, so the only way to move around is to use the pan feature. I can pan until the chickens come home, but I can't see how that is any help.

As for the print dialogue, it will not let me make the page size 8.5 by 11 or any configuration thereof it is always some small portion of the page. Fit to page converts it automatically to one half of 8.5 x 11.

I'm baffled.

I'm trying to print a simple @D floor plan. All I can get to print is a part of the plan. The program leaves a lot of white space at top and sides and will only print half of the basement portion of the plan. If I could figure out how to do it, it could all print nicely on one 8.5x11. But try what may nothing works.

Thanks a lot. I thought it had to be simple but never thought to look under camera for it and would not have understood parallel projection to mean that.

I want to prepare a floor plan. I o not need three D. How can I make it so the plan stays flat? or how do I make it return to a flat overhead view? Also How can I get things like the images that download for toilets and the like to be just 2D? I do not need 3D for this project at all but cannot figure out how to assure that everything stays fixed. Also is there a way to just flip objects and or rotate them 90 degrees at a time.
