How to manipulate an elevation view in layout

[DesiSusan]

Home Designer Pro 2021  fully updated.

When I send an elevation view to a layout, I cannot resize nor select and move the entire elevation. 

 

Ultimately I am trying to combine 2 elevation views and some text from one of them into 1 presentation.  Is there a better way, than going to a layout. BackElevation.layout

I don't think I have that in my PRO version.  This is what happens when I try to resize.

Have you tried "rescale" the Layout Box?

[joey_martin]

Hold SHIFT when selecting the layout box and the corner nodes should disappear leaving one single node at the top of the layout box that can be used to change the size/scale of whats in the box.

AFAIK that only changes the size of the Layout Box, not the size of what's inside it.

Re-scale actually does both.

JoeCarrick - How do you  do the rescale?

JoeyMartin -  that helps a bit.  The picture gets fuzzy tho

as joe says rescale. do this by right clicking on the layout box, click "rescale layout view" from the shortcut menu.

 

The picture becomes unfuzzy when you print

 

some camera views cannot be rescaled with the menu.

 

hold down the X key and click and drag a corner to make the window larger

1. Select the Layout Box
2. Click on the "ReScale" icon on the Edit Toolbar.  It looks like a short ruler.
3. Set the desired Scale

You probably want both Layout Boxes to be the same scale.

So I got the views to the right size by sending them to layout by themselves, and then using JOECARRICKS rescale.

Now can I send the text boxes to the layout on their own?

 

My version of rescale is a bit different (under transform/replicate dialog box. 

My short ruler is just for dimensions.
