3d axonometric document scale in Ac12

[David Collins]

I've been experimenting with axonometric 3d drawings in ArchiCAD 12.
When I place one of these on a drawing layout sheet, it comes in slightly off from the drawing scale and has to be tweaked into scale.

Of course, a perspective drawing is not scalable, but the whole point of an axonometric drawing, I always thought, was that you could measure off of it. Am I missing something here? Is there some trick to getting these to come into a layout drawing properly sized?

so does anyone know or can make sense as of why does the axo need to have the lengths of 3' 3 3/8" for it to scale correctly on paper?

This equates to 1 metre (1000mm) in metric.
I guess it is like the distort/stretch handle on the fill tool.

A value of 1000 and it is all to scale.
Any other value will adjust the scale accordingly.

Because your units of measurement are imperial you need to type in the imperial equivalent.

It would be handy to have a little stretchy origin in 3D to save having to run back to the settings dialogue.

makes sense now, although he software should understand that if I am using imperial units then the default should be 12" or 1'.
