Exporting floor plans..

Anonymous — Fri, 19 May 2023 20:16:45 GMT

Hi all, need your help once again!
My folio is due in less than a week and I'm barely half way trhough putting it all together!

Alright I've been stuffing around with trying to export the floor plans from my Archicad documents using the "Publish Options".
I've discovered that exporting into JPEG and other image file formats gives bad quality when I enlarge it to a near A3 size.
My problem is, I need to export my floor plan out so that it will be at a scale of 1:100. Then export it into Photoshop so that I can add it to my folio pages.

The thing is, (if your still able to follow my description of this problem - which you may not be!) when I export the pdf of the floor plan it splits it up into four sections. As in four different pages in the pdf document. I'm just hoping somebody can help me out and tell me how to export these floor plans correctly.

Thanks so much. Hayden.

Create a view of the plan at the scale you want to export, 1:100.

As Erika suggested create a view of the plan at the scale you want and print or publish that view.

If you Print to a PDF make sure your printer size is set to the correct one.
If you Publish then make sure you set the layout page to the correct size - the PDF page size will be set automatically from the layout master page size.

Thanks for that guys! It took me a little bit but I finally got what you said. I never understood layouts until now but now that I do, they are great!

Thanks for the help as usual

Seeya!
