3D to scale
Can you help?

I have submitted a basic planning application to my local council using SH3D. They have stopped it because they now want front and side elevations of the house TO SCALE!

I can print floor plans to scale, but how do I print front and side elevations to scale?

I really hope someone on this forum can help?

Thanks
Stuart

Re: 3D to scale
There's no plan elevation view in Sweet Home 3D.
But you can simulate it more or less in the 3D view: in Virtual visitor mode, select the location and angles of the camera to view the side of your home from far away with a small field of view (< 10°). To get more accurate results, use the dialog displayed by 3D view > Modify virtual visitor menu item.
Not completely sure the scale of each level can be exact with this method.
