I did the resize, though it didn't work.
Like i selected my image and said 1:1000 and it still didn't have the correct dimensions.
Am I doing something wrong?
Try this -
Select the figure/drawing. Activate the 'Resize' command. Select 'define graphically' and hit OK. Select a point at the
start
of the known distance. Then select a point at the
end
of the known distance. Type in the actual distance you want between the two points and hit return.
Check in the figures settings to see what the actual overall size in mm of the drawing, now you have it to scale. Make a note of these dimensions.
Open the image in Photoshop. Open the 'image size' settings, make sure you have
unchecked
the 'resample image' setting. The only boxes now available should be the document width, height and resolution settings. Set the units to the same as before and enter in the overall sizes as measured in ArchiCAD. You will notice that the resolution will re-adjust automatically. Press OK and resave the image.
It should now be to scale (full size in terms of actual pixels per real-life inch). You can check this by doing a print preview and looking at the scale factor you have to view it at to fit.
Hope that helps!
