How to print a plan on two pages

Anonymous

Hi there, I have some floor plans and we must print on A3 paper. Only, my drawings are too large (it's set at 1:100) and so the only option is to "cut" my plan in half and print on two pages.

Is there an easy way to do this on ArchiCAD?

Cheers

Very easy. Just place two instances of the same drawing on separate layouts. Add match lines to taste. Trim to fit the layout as needed. Stuff like this is very flexible and, dare I say, fun, in AC.

Unless I'm missing something.

No, the double post was not intentional but it is sort of visually onomatopoetic, given the subject.

Of course! I feel rather silly now given I could probably have worked that one out.

Thank you much appreciated.

Can you show in a few pictures, how you made?
It is an option "Create new when layout is full", but it's not working in my case.
