I’m only using this program because there’s no way to control the aspect ratio of an image exported from sketchup - it depends on your monitor size and toolbar arrangement?!

For controlling the aspect ratio you can try this extension. [image] Help with 2d Graphic Export for Postcard mailer SketchUp You’ll find Christina’s simple viewport plugin quite helpful in achieving the aspect ratio you want. Eneroth Viewport Resizer — Extension Warehou…

[image] cpeterson_com: it depends on your monitor size and toolbar arrangement? @Wade that’s an SU plugin, this is the LayOut forum… @cpeterson_com , you need to clarify, many people successfully export large scale high definition output every day… getting the settings right can be tricky… j…

[image] cpeterson_com: There’s no way to control the aspect ratio of an image exported from SketchUp Actually there is a way. ThomThom has an excellent plugin called V-Ray Tools on the Extension Warehouse. You don’t necessarily need V-Ray to use it. You can use it to export 2D images with th…

I’ve seen this extension which changes your window size. Although it will re-size your window along with your toolbar.

As this thread seems to be about SketchUp, not LayOut, I’ll move it into a more appropriate category. (the aspect ratio of image exports from LayOut is determined by your page dimensions, and the resolution by your output quality settings, with High exporting at 300 DPI). When you add pixels to yo…

[image] josephkim626: The edges will look thinner in high-resolution since they will get anti-aliased and other part of the model has become larger. (perhaps this will make it look “nicer”) The Quality of the image really depends on your model, view settings, and other styles.Thus, if you thoug…

[image] Gully_Foyle: Higher resolution generally results in thinner lines and smaller objects simply because the pixels are smaller objects I stand corrected. It is not function of anti-aliasing, lines just become thinner because other things are larger relatively. I’m not sure what other ob…

[image] josephkim626: I’m not sure what other objects get smaller? I wonder if we’re talking past each other. I never said “other objects.” I don’t even know what you mean by that. The OP seems to be talking about exporting 2D bitmap images from SU, so the entire image would be a single resol…

[image] Gully_Foyle: thinner lines and smaller objects I was referring to the “smaller objects”. Anyways, I don’t think its important. You were correct Gully.

Is it really true that exporting hi resolution images only upscales the export (same crappy image, just more pixels)
