Thanks TommyK! Like blauble said, you just answered a question I have been struggling with for a long time. Granted, I’ve gotten better at solving for x, but to be able to simply write in 6/48 (1/4" scale) for 6" instead of doing the math and having to figure out it’s .125 or 1/8" is awesome! Especially when it’s a messy number I want to draw, like 15", that doesn’t divide into 12 nicely.
This is one of those things that should have been obvious, but it never even occurred to me to try it until you said it.
I draw most stuff in Sketchup, but the reality is, that putting things like the Trusses of a Roof Framing plan or the numerous different Cross Sections and the like into the 3d Model, and them arranging their scenes and layers all exactly so they only display on the sheets you want can be very labor intensive and time consuming. It’s often much quicker to just draw the Roof Layout trusses over the floor plan in Layout and your done. So without the capability of simply drawing within a specific scale in Layout, your method is the next best thing.
