Fallenangel Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I was wondering how do we print to a model if we have a PDF file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 You need a Chief model to be able to print a 3D model. PDF is usually just a 2D representation of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallenangel Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'm doing what you said and it still won't let me print to a model even tho I have a 3D camera open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I revised my posting. The 3D model needs to be printed from plan view. If you have a 3D camera view then you have a Chief model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem that I'm getting is that it wants me to print 26 Pages and I don't need that many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I have done this with another software program but not chief yet. I am assuming you will get a page for every wall panel and roof plane, floor section etc. etc... This is for a cardboard 3D model. Maybe this is not what you are after ?

Chopsaw Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Maybe change the scale or print on larger paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
