I have addressed this a few weeks but didn’t have my file saved. I am doing some drawings for work and when I try to print to a PDF it splits the drawing. I put the PDF attached with the split screen as well the as the original drawing skp. file. It seems my drawing is too big? I am not familiar with Layout yet so hoping I can fix this without getting into that right now.

This is the view I have in SketchUp Go.
And here’s the PDF I get when I print to PDF. This is in Chrome.
No split at all. What do you have for settings?
FWIW, if you are thinking of creating plans for your project you’ll need to get into using components and groups for the parts. As it is, your model is one hunk of geometry.
Thank you!! This is beyond frustrating as this is not my view at all. I don’t know what you mean by the settings.
I really wish I knew more what I was doing.
Set up your model the way you have been and show a screenshot. Then show a screenshot of the print window.
Start by going through the tutorials at learn.sketchup.com
What is it you actuallywant to get out of your model? How will you use it?
What operating system? What graphics card? Please correct your forum profile. That information will help us help you.
This is how I usually set up the drawings. I will definitely going back and try to learn more.
I am on a trial base for Sketchup Pro but again, it’s a true work in progress.
I don’t know why you are getting the split. Maybe @colin has some insight. It’s not happening for me, clearly.
At least correct your forum profile since that information is helpful.
If you are using SketchUp Pro go ahead and open the file in Pro and see what you get when you export to PDF. As I mentioned in an earlier thread, using LayOut will give you better output options.

Thank you for the help anyway.
That problem did happen months ago, and I thought that it was fixed. I’m checking into what would have brought the problem back again.
Thank You!!! If you can keep me posted I’d really appreciate it.
I found out more. There is work being done to improve the way print works. I don’t know exactly when there will be progress on that.
Only work around for now is to take a screenshot.

Was there any reason given why the behavior is different for different users?
It only goes wrong with Perspective.
