scale of scenes

[GWydouw]

Is there a way to setup the scale of scenes? OK i know how to setup the scale in LO. But I want to define the scale before it comes to LO this way i could make a kind of template with already all scenes put in LO and i just need to relink to another model with the same scenes predefined.

regards,

Guy

You can set scale for the dimension tool only for the entire document. I don't think you can set the dimension from the scene - if you inference off the model, you'll get model space, not paper space. But if you break the connection to the model, you'll get paper space and the scale that you've saved in the dimension tool.

Choose the dimension tool, set the scale (turn off Auto and set your scale), then save the document. In StyleManager.xml, you're setting the dimension tool's "dimension.scale" and "dimension.scale.isauto" variables.

Thanks bjanzen you answerd onother question of me, but what i maen with this question is that evertime when i change the scene of my model which is inserted in LO the scale change to on other scale. Is there a way to set the standard scale of the model?

OK, I think I can answer that: yes. Create your own template, and insert a dummy model (nothing in it but Sang), set to Ortho and set the scale in the SketchUp Model inspector (set the view you want, too). File->Save as Template. Now create a new SketchUp model, send to LayOut, and your model should have the correct view and scale that you want.

It plays off of the blog post I wrote - http://sketchupdate.blogspot.com/2010/0 ... ayout.html
