print two levels on one pdf page

Post by July2017 »

Hallo!
I plan a house and the garden with Sweet Home 3D. For the house I use three levels (basement, first floor and second floor). Because the garden is about 50 cm lower than the first floor and it is not possible to use negative height, I use "level garden", too. Unfortunately, I am not able to print the "ground" (first floor and garden) on only one pdf page. Do I miss an option/button? Is there another possibility to print two levels on just one page? (Of course this does not make sense if I try to print levels that would overlap eachother as basement and second floor.)
Thanks for any ideas!
July

July,

You can't print two levels on one page. Time for a trick...
Export both levels separately, then extract the images of your plan.
Now combine them using Gimp, Photoshop or something similar.

Hard to suggest workarounds without knowing more about your file, however, in addition to what hansmex writes, maybe you could copy (temporarily in a copy work file) the elements from one level to another and then do the 2D print? This may be tricky with a very complicated file, but could work if you clean out all unnecessary elements before printing the plan. For a top view plan in 2D, the elevation may not matter. But of course, do make sure to keep the original file in a safe place before ruining it.

ok

PS - for printing the plan or exporting SVG - it is often a good idea to clean the plan as much as possible (in a work-copy).
