Help--V10 Render printing

**Steve S** · 03-20-2009, 10:10 AM

Is there any way to send a render floor overview to a printer and have it fill the page? I need a larger image and can't figure out how to get it. I have a deadline if anyone can help. Thanks.

Full page fax print, or in a layout, fit to page and resize as needed.

I can't send the image to a layout page...?

I'm not sure what you mean by full page fax print?

**Rusty** · 03-20-2009, 10:21 AM

I think in 10 you would import it from the layout itself.

If it's a jpeg and you print w/ Windows Pic Viewer that is one of the print options.

Thanks Rusty, I will try importing; I hadn't thought of that. I haven't actually sent the image anywhere so I don't think it is a jpeg, I'm just trying to print it from the camera view itself.

Stephen:

export the floorplan view as a .jpg then import as .jpg into layout

Thanks again Rusty, and Lew as well. I ended up getting the image I needed by exporting and importing into the layout. I happened to have read Tammy's thread earlier today (http://www.chieftalk.com/showthread.php?t=41952) and resized my chief screen in order to get a larger image without distorting it. This forum is fantastic and has helped me out of a jam on more than a few occasions. Thanks again guys!

Take a render view, go to the window that will give you a top view, send that to layout (it will be an image..... not vector and cannot be sent to layout with a defined scale).... then go to your layout and grab a corner a stretch to the size you want. Now print as a PDF and send it to your printer.
