THE ‘WHY’ OF SKETCHUP
In Sketchup you can set up the scale to print. Example .. you can set 1 inch in in the printout and 1 inch in Sketchup where you will get a print exactly the same as you created in Sketchup. IF I had drawn the bin full size then I would simply set 12 inches in Sketchup and .25 inches in the printout for 1:48 .. if I wanted plans in HO then I would set it to .138 inches in the printout. Converting from full-scale – say 12 inches to a foot in your scale simply divided 12 by the scale. Example: 12/160 = .075 inches. In my case I changed the camera from ‘Perspective’ to ‘Parallel Projection’ and ‘Standard View’ to ‘Front’. I could then set the print so 1/4″ in the printout equaled 1/4″ in Sketchup (I had drawn this to 1:48 scale) and I had plans I could work directly off of. |
