Hey, i am new to ArchiCAD, and recently I want to trace a pdf for my project, and it got the dimension on the file of the, but not sure how to scale it up to right-scaled plan. Can anyone tell me how to scale or resize the pdf plan in ArchiCAD?

Place your PDF (File->External Content->Place External Drawing)

Resize your PDF (Edit->Reshape->Resize).

I import my PDF, draw a line that I know the length of (to match something on the PDF), then scale the PDF using that line length.

Has worked for me so far, I am sure there are probably better ways.
