Ever try printing your model view straight from SketchUp using the Print dialog? It works but you're missing out some additional features that exporting from LayOut offers. Join Eric as he shows you not just HOW...but more importantly, WHY to use each.

I've always struggled with printing from SketchUp. This really clarifies how it's done. Thank you.

Best explanation for optimal printing from SU I’ve seen.

👍 thanks for the tip. Great job presenting it as well. And here I was thinking I had layouts all figured out after 8 years. Thanks

Ha. Agreed. I love it when I find something simple that I didn't know after thinking I've got all the tools/techniques nailed by now.

I’m really going to have to figure out layout. I’m going to search for this but a suggestion for a future segment would be how to do a standard three view plus iso (standard for mechanical type models) drawing in layout.

Thanks Eric, really useful tip. I also think that this is a good reason to "dip my toe" into Layout. Like many others, no doubt, I have always found Layout to be a bit bewildering for the hobbyist. This use-case seems quite simple, and it might encourage me to try more in Layout.

You're welcome! Yes that is the goal...to make 'easing' into LayOut more accessible by de-mystifying it ;) - give it a try...you'll love it.

That was cool. I didn't know you could print to scale directly from SU - before I got the Pro version (and thus LayOut), I was either exporting a jpg and hoping it was kinda to scale-ish, or doing some weird workaround with Word (like my alliteration?). Then I got LayOut, and voila! Easy peasy printing to scale! So much so that I didn't know there was another way. Thanks for that. Could we have a link to the replay of the livestream modelling, please? I like to watch them when I get time

That's great. 'Scale-ish' is a new term for me. I'll have to use that one. Thanks for watching.

hello, coul you help me? in sketchup pro I don't find the print setting for scale the sketch. In file I find only print, the print setting option is not visible. THK

@SketchUp 4 ай бұрын

Everything in SketchUp is intended to be modeled at 1-to-1 scale. There is not a "scale" setting.

I did not know that when you export to pdf it keep textures?… always when i expert to pdf it gets rid if textures and gives me plain coliurs…I alway found myself exporting another png then overlaying- tricky as I use the background pdf for accurate scaling….after the struggle to match the size, the final result it always loosing the quality of the pdf
