Thank you for the help. Yes I’m using SketchUp8, not the Pro Version.
The Zoom Extent tip is really appreciated. Here is my work around. It does not give me perfect results, however I can work with.
Because of my work around, the Document Setup Dialog Box Scale reads 1” in Drawing and 10’ 8” in Model. I won't be able to use an architectural ruler with the drawing.
From the Camera pull down menu in SketchUp8
- Before printing select Camera>Parallel Projections. Also select Camera>Zoom Extents.
a. Zoom Extents will fill the drawing window with the model.
b. For my drawing I also selected Camera>Standard Views>Top (I don’t know if this is necessary, I created it with this view)
Print directly from SketchUp 8 - File>Print 8.5” x 14”. It was by trial and error I determined to use this size paper.
c. Orientation is portrait.
d. Scale is 185% (this is NOT the scale in the Document Setup Dialog Box)
i. 185% is a work around which gives me a near full page size drawing that I can work with.
ii. At 185% the result is 4 printed pages. The good news is that 3 of the 4 are blank and 1 page contains my drawing.
There is probably a better way and when my next drawing are created I’ll probably have different issues, as the plot plans are larger. I might need to create them in 3 different drawings because I have no interest in taping together pages.
Thank you for the feedback and if you have more suggestions I’ll appreciate them.
