I am new to Floor Plan. I am trying to prepare plans for submittal for a building permit. I do not have a printer to print full size plans (24 x 30). Therefore it would be nice to be able to convert to PDF so I can easily send to print shop and to subcontractors. I noticed an old forum discussion on this subject but the link is no longer active.
Thank you for any help.
Hi there,
You can print your plans to PDF following this free tutorial in my webpage
https://www.punchhelpers.com/printing_punch.html
In order to print scaled plans and elevations to PDF including tile blocks, as stated in the previous post, my Advanced Collection (http://www.punchhelpers.com/store3.html) includes different 2D and 3D scaled sets with different papers sizes, etc. Using these sets, you can print the scaled plans directly to the desired paper size, PDF, etc.
See the image attached.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for your help

Hi Again: In preparing plan for submittal for building permit, it would be nice to have all four elevations printed on the same 24 x 36 sheet. How would I go about this?
Thank you.

You mention in your tutorial that there are several image viewers free online. I am using Faststone, but I am having problems bringing in the title block as Faststone breaks the canvas into equal segments for the images. Do you have a recommendation for image viewer software that will do the job as described in your tutorial?
Hi there,
You can try Adobe Photoshop Express or Irfanview.
To avoid the breaks, don't forget to set the canvas size and printing paper size.
Hope this helps.
