Good morning everyone,
I’m having an issue with exporting to PDF from Layout:
the exported PDF does not mach the layout. It looks like the same drawing is overlaid
on top of itsself- one at the correct scale and another one zooomed in over it.
Why is happening? has anyone experienced the same issue? How did you solve it?
thank you in advance!
Sketchup 2025
It would help us help you if you shared the LO file and the PDF you are getting. From what I can glena from your description I expect your model or part of it is located at a great distance from the origin relative to its size. If that’s the case, moving the model to near the origin is the fix.
Please update your forum profile. Also correct the operating system. “2024” does not identify an operating system.
There is a problem we’re investigating, where you have used parallel projection in a viewport, and it looks ok on the page, but in a PDF export the geometry that is behind the camera is shown. The same problem happens when exporting PDF from SketchUp.
While we wait for that to be fixed, you could change the scene you are showing, and instead of placing the camera as a way to get a view with some things behind the camera, use a section plane instead. Or, you could tag the objects behind the camera, and for that scene you could hide those objects. Either of those ways of working would make the exported PDF look the same as the LayOut page.
I’ve tried, but it didn’t make any difference
Tried what?
Share the LayOut file so we have some hope of helping you.
