Well, had you read the OP's problem correctly, which was clearly one of
the need for printing a 1:1 drawing that is larger than the printer
paper can accomodate:



No, I had no problems with the accuracy of the units (inches). The
problem is that a 1:1 drawing wants to print accross 4 pages with the
sketch in the middle. By a certain amound of "screwing around"
(including, but not limited to, moving my drawing to the origin
(0,0,0)), I was able to get better results.


If you reshape the size of your Sketchup window you also cut down on the
extra pages needed. Just be sure to save you tool locations so that you
can restore them after going back to the normal orientation that you use.
