Hello everyone
I am new here and have never used a forum before. I was a Architectural draftsman for round about 18 years. I changed to outside plant fiber optic design when the economy tanked. I started using Google Earth to do base sheets for my design work and ran across Sketch Up a few weeks ago and fell in love. I am out here now trying to soak up everything I can.

I am using the 7.1 free version
There two things I would like to find out.

1. What is the best way to print architecturally formated drawings,(Plans, Elevations and sections) and save these layouts for editing later?

2. How do I create a mesh to represent the ground to set my house model on?
