      Mac Doc Set up window.jpg

      Sendingf again as a jpeg

      Printing what a pain!

      Perhaps its a Mac issue coupled with lack of proffessional version and operator incompetence

      I've attached the Doc window with the attempt to put in 10mm to 1000mm as Chris suggests.

      I had, on screen a 1000mm x 1000mm dimensioned square in front elevation, parrallel view

      Sketch Up -Print Settings image.jpg
      Thanks for the response

      I have sent an image of my Mac document setting box (no particular settings entered)

      Have tried many many options as suggested by lots of posts and sketch up help

      I can't believe this problem exists given how prolific Sketch up is

      I am using a Mac,sketch up 7 free version.FIT TO PAGE IS OFF ,PARALLEL VIEW IS SELECTED,USUALLY FRONT VIEW,TRY TO ENTER A SCALE LIKE 1:5, 1:10 but wont let me enter this. Page size changes when scales are entered. I am used to setting say A4 page ,a particular scale ,page orientation and then print in Vector Works which i use normally for 2D drawings

      Gidday

      Have been searching for the holy grail on printing to scale , read lots of posts and on this matter it seems sketch up really falls short.

      At times i have a need, particularly with simple 2d drawings with School students, to print their drawing to scale. Sometimes 1:1 for a template or say 1:5 for an orthographic view ( its required documentation).
      The 3d modeling is fine and can deal with the model being sized by the zoom extents tool and fitting to a page.

      Has there been any progress? , are using free version on Mac

      thanks
