Thank you for posting this. This saved me hundreds of dollars that I thought I was going to have to spend for the full version. I found this tremendously helpful.
That thing there after 5:30 about making a field proportional to the paper is a pretty neat idea. Was looking at the Sketchup forum where a comment was made about how after you get the settings adjusted in Sketchup, the printer itself may still tinker with the sizing - which has me thinking, this _is_ the 21st century where computers make life easier, right?
maybe there is a print to scale plugin in the extension warehouse that speeds this up, that puts an outline of your paper size on the screen to capture the portion of your model you want to print, you can also use the windows snipping tool, essentially dragging out the portion you want to take a screenshot of, the only problem is that it leaves your background model color gray and prints that to, I was taking a screenshot and then loading that jpeg into photoshop and using the color wand selection tool to select all the gray, brush it white and then saving a seperate jpeg of the model with a white background, that was way harder than this, I need to do it that way in a pinch for a project, but this is faster, also search the extension warehouse maybe someone has made a print plugin to speed up printing your model
loved the vid , it was very easy to follow, but despite following every step carefully, it insists on printing a 140mm circle on 2 x a4 sheets. i cant crop the image in sketchup, im sure thats the issue. im using pc not mac. and i also dont get a preview of print. thumbs up btw i spent 2 years learning to use sketchup by following vids like yours. many thanks for taking the time to post them.
Ross Williams, DC lol thosr complainers expect to get the full version capability at zero dollar. This tutorial is actually great to get the way around to print with scale with the free version. SketchUp is quite kind to share this tutorial with us.
I found this helpful, again maybe there is an easier plugin available but this is not that hard, I do stuff like this all the time for other programs, including photoshop and whatnot
I made a drawing that I was hoping to use as a pattern for something that I'm making out of metal.I need to print it out at 1 to 1. It's the simplest thing that you could ask, yet it is nearly impossible as far as I can tell. What kind of BS is that!

Me too!
thank you a lot!!! After 30 minutes of stressing to get the sketchup to the position I want, I finally manage to do it ^^
The info is here, just have to sit through what NOT to do for a while. Skip to 2:45

Thank you! very nice and clear. I was hoping to learn how to print actual size so I could use it as a template, but this was great info too.
At 4:17 you "crop in tighter" How is that done I cannot make it happen in sketchup 2017 Make?
Hi, scale numbers on Printout and in Sketchup bars are not showing up, I'm using Mac ?
Hi, great video! I cannot get rid of the white space on mine. When I drag the view size it keeps resizing the model. Thoughts?
I can’t shrink the window to true size 😫 it’ll still show the same print preview if I minimize the screen
How can I print using a 1:200 scale in an a3 paper?
OMG! What a nightmare way of printing!

If I have SketchUp Pro and want to combine objects in different scales on the same print out,
What do I do?
If you Have Pro the easiest solution id to generate your scaled output with LayOut.
Wow - thank you - that was incredibly helpful!
Yes, this is very helpful.
It is a nice one. but I have a problem to print. Ican not find Document setup option in File menu. How can I get it.

how do I get rid of the horizon colors? frustrating to print wasting all that color.
Hello...did you find out how to change Style...? Let me know , if I can help you...
I did thank you.
Whenever I try to print my model, i get wireframe style. How can print it like solid style with shadow?
Any easier way? How about turning the document to PDFs
so you are hiding printing behind paywall.... I could understand expolosions or bom's, but baisc printing to scale? 4shame.
Ya need to bring the grade up and lose the last riser/tread. Or recalculate your risers.😀
Very helpful. The complainers should just buy Pro with Layout.

How do I print at 1:200 Scale?
TO print at a specific scale, you need to use LayOut.
@@SketchUp hi, would you kindly happen to know how to do that?
SKETCH UP to this day is pathetic on printing controls.
Everything you had to stumble through is an example of rookie coding of the product.
can you plz show how to meke circular stairs and thank you
This is a 2 minute video, not 8!
is there no better way?
I'm surprised there is no "Print Selection".
Why don't you just export it as 2D Graphic? It creates a JPG file
lol thanks...much easier.
MCASB Preparator: you will loose quality
If I have modeled an object that has a face that's 24" x 36" and do that, I don't see how to print it 1:1.

Thank you so much!
Wow the ui don't look like 1999 on mac.

go a head try pc no marketing thru incompatible mac please !
BTW, your bottom riser or overall risers need work.
i'm pc fan but have to admit mac version any program is much better than windows
Sketchup hasn't progresses in 10 years. Printing a total joke. This is not rocket science. Still can't print as well as 1980 dos system.
Freaking too complicated dude, find an easier way and call me.
