Does anyone know how to get google sketchup to print to scale? I am working on a "secret" blaster design and I finished the CAD work on sketchup, but it won't print in the proper sizes.

    Switch to paraline mode by turning perspective mode off. To turn perspective mode off, open the "Camera" menu and click "Perspective" (so that a check mark is not displayed next to it).
    Select a standard scalable view: Iso, Top, Front, Right, Back, or Left. To select a standard view, open the "Camera" menu, point to "Standard," and then click one of the views. Note: The scalable edges are those aligned with the axes.

    Standard scalable view

    PC: Open the "File" menu, and then click "Print."
    Mac: Open the "File" menu, and then click "Document Setup."
    In the "Print Size" section of the "Print" dialog box, clear the "Fit to page" option.
    If you are in paraline mode (step 1) and have selected a standard view (step 2), the scale options in the "Print Size" (Mac: "Print Scale") section are enabled when you clear the "Fit to page" option. Set the scale you want to use.
    PC: Click "OK" to print your model.
    Mac: Click "OK" to save your document settings, and then print your model by opening the "File" menu, and then clicking "Print."

Thank you, but RyanMcnumbers already told me how to get it to print to scale. You save it into paint, and then copy and paste it into Microsoft word.

Ok, you didn't say anything here, so I didn't know.
