Hi there I have a model of a building. I am trying to export jpegs of standard views of this building (left, right, front , back etc), so i can print off drawings, which all need to be to the same scale.

It can be tricky (search this forum for Make, print to scale) but I do it regularly. And there is a range of free software for Windows that will install a driver to allow you to …

(If you don’t know much about scenes, check this: Creating Scenes | SketchUp Help ) 2- Add texts, labels, dimensions etc. (More info about this: Hinzufügen von Text, Beschriftungen und Abmessungen zu einem Modell | SketchUp Help ) 3- Hide or show objec…
