In addition to these great tips, before printing I use a graph paper image as a material I fill in the component that I'm printing. Just be careful to make the graph paper image size to be exact. I used a 2 inch by 2 inch virtual image of the graph paper sized to 2x2 inches when creating this custom material. This material repeats across your component automatically. Now after you print at scale you can take the individual sheets of paper together exactly by using the graph paper fill pattern to align each piece of paper to be straight and spaced correctly.

I actually mentioned that in the video, but ended up editing it out because I couldn't get it to print the texture. Only afterwards, I realized I needed to disable "Use high accuracy HLR" for it to work. Oh well! It's a great tip! thanks

I hadda retrieve this info, coincidentally, just a few days after your email notification, so thanks, Matt, for making it easier than last time, when I pieced together info from googling. I've never gotten into Layout enough to not hate it - or maybe it's just not loveable. I don't usually have to 'present' my work; I usually use it as shop-drawings for my own DIY projects, and in this case, as a full-size template. Generally after long hours tweaking a model in SU, I've had far too much coffee to tolerate still MORE long hours futzing with Layout in order to simply print what I need in order to start building. But I still wonder if I'm missing out. LMK if you think it's worth learning...

Edit: later same day, with about 20 pages printed and carefully aligned, I found my template was about 4% smaller than the CAD model (yes, I'm using the 'HLR' setting from the print dialog). But I'm using Adobe Acrobat, not Bluebeam, so I'm pretty sure that's the difference - unless your project can tolerate that discrepancy. I repeated (this time making a 1" grid) to test, using the Adobe printer setup and selecting the 'higher quality' (or some such) setting vs the 'standard,' and...still no. I'm getting about 15/16" to the inch in 'standard,' and only slightly better in 'higher quality.' I'll poke around a little to see if there's a fix.
@davids1681
4 жыл бұрын
I'm stumped for now. Acrobat's 'measuring' tool - once I found it - shows the grid at 1.00" so that apparently isn't the problem. Unless there's a required scaling tweak to my (Brother) laser printer (that I don't really want to mess with, since trial-and-error tweaking of the scaling by percentage seems klugey) I don't know what else to try. Anyone?
@Mastersketchup
4 жыл бұрын
So if I understand correctly, you're printing to Acrobat first, then to your printer? The problem with that is when you go to PDF, it goes right to the edge of the paper with no margin, and when you print from acrobat it's probably scaling the printed area down to fit within the margins of the printable area. You'd have to either disable scaling in acrobat when you print, but then you'd have parts of the print getting cropped. The better thing to do would be to select your printer directly from inside SketchUp because it will adjust for the margins correctly for you.
@davids1681

@@Mastersketchup Sounds reasonable as to the rescaling basis...but there's at least one shot in your video that I took to indicate you were doing the same thing, though in your case, printing from Bluebeam, not Acrobat. I realized later I should at least give printing directly from SU a try - but the thing about printing from the pdf is that you get a bird's-eye preview of ALL pages, not just a maximum of two (unless I'm missing a setting in the SU print preview, that's as many pages as you can preview at one time - is there a way to see more?) And if I just let it rip and print the whole thing, my print would contain a LOT of spurious pages that aren't needed for my perimeter-pattern template. Maybe it follows the same page sequence as for the pdf, so I can guess at a more surgical selection of pages to print...? (So much for saving trees and paper...)
@davids1681
4 жыл бұрын
It turned out that the page-printing sequence from SU is the same as from Acrobat, so it was a little easier to select only the needed (perimeter) pages to print. That said, though the scale seems accurate within the confines of one or two printed pages, it grows a bit (at least with my printer) such that over a span of 18", I'm over by ~1/16" - or in other terms, my longer dimension of 64-1/2" per SU came out to 64-3/4" in the real world. But it was the long smooth curves I needed to have templated, really - good thing I'm not making clockwork...

I set the scale to 1:1. if i look at page size, it says width 16.7125" and height 9.3547". Thing is, my object is 2D, and measures 2" X 8". its a simple rectangle with 8, 1/4" holes in it. My printer is a small laser that only prints on 8 1/2" X 11" paper.
