I would also say that exporting to scale to PDF or EPS or printing to PDF would be the easiest way. To create a 'to-scale' raster image is also possible, but it is more complicated, and you will have to go through an image editor:

in SU, create a parallel view. Draw an empty frame with known dimensions round your model. export an image to a high resolution. Open the exported image in Photoshop. In Photoshop, crop the image to the frame you drew. If your background is uniform, you can use the Trim command Resize the image to the dimensions your frame should have on paper and to the desired final resolution. Now, if needed, you can crop the image further, when you save it, it will retain its dpi value so that it will get placed to Indesign to the right scale.

thanks wind-borne for the pointer and muchos thanks to our great coders who once again provide a solution!

i may well be overlooking something but this seems like a basic flaw in functionality within SU?

i mean, world axes are world axes - if you change them, then everything relating to them should surely change accordingly?

discovered this issue recently while working on a site where the buildings don't all have the same orientation. when i tried to produce the usual ortho views of one particular building ... oh oh

Almost as a rule you'll find that people on 3D forums consider the Quadro line to be way overpriced compared to the GeForce. I can't say for sure but I think the Quadro only pays for itself when you move into high end architectural engineering programs that require continual math calculations.
