   It would help to see the SketchUp file but here are a few things to consider.

   If the drawing was done correctly, everything should dimension out at full scae. SketchUp is not like CAD programs where you set some scale and draw everything to that scale. You draw 1:1 in SketchUp.

   As far as printing for full size templates/patterns, you can set up scenes for them and print them. Tim Killen and I have both written about doing this on the Design. CLick. Build. blog  Here's one link to look at: https://www.finewoodworking.com/item/25890/printing-templates-two-approaches

   If you have the pro version of SketchUp you can make it even easier to print full size patterns by sending the scenes created in SketchUp to LayOut and setting the scale of the view. Then you can export a PDF file which can be printed out full size. One of the nice things about this option is you can create large scale pattern and have them printed at your local printer or large office supply store.

   Hi Dave. Thank you for the reply. I'm was trying to get the hang of sketchup when I found this file. I don't remember how or where I got it from. As you can tell by now, I'm not that computor savy. I'll send you the file if I can.

   Thanks

   Mike
