So I’ve drawn up some 2D and 3D designs using SketchupPro 2019. All of my model is to the exact sizes it needs to be. However I now need to import this into layout onto my company template. How do I set a scale of say 1:100 or 1:50 specifically for an A1 page? Also, is there a way of creating an A1 template? I used to just use an A3 one and print to A1 but it makes my work blurry as its stretched.
I need to be able to print my work at a chosen scale on A1 for clients.
Any ideas??
Paper size is set in File > Document Properties > Paper.
Viewport scale is set in the SketchUp Model panel when the viewport is selected.
Thanks.
I don’t seem to have an A1 paper size option? Does it only go up to A3?
Are you looking in File>Document Setup>Paper? Are you using Windows as your profile indicates?
If you don’t have it as a preset you can also enter the exact measurements of an A1.
Fab Thanks!
It’s now just getting my drawings directly from Sketchup to being printed to scale at A1 on a template thats confusing me. I need to be able to ensure when its printed its at an 1:50 or so size on the A1 paper.
Thanks for your help everyone.
Make sure you have created a scene or scenes showing your model with the camera set to Parallel Projection and the appropriate standard view. Then use those scenes as viewports in LayOut and, as @eneroth3 wrote, set the scale for the viewports to 1:50 in the SketchUp Model panel.
