And the center arch? Too big for a home printer surely, unless you
somehow printed it on several sheets with registration marks. Is that
how you did it?



Yes! But no registration marks, you really don't need them. You can
just as easily use actual lines in the printed drawings as registration
start/stop points.

There is a series of steps to printing accurate to scale drawings with
the free version of Sketchup. Not something that I would have
discovered with out have seen a tutorial video. I would be happy to
explain the process. Once done a couple of times the steps make sense
and are easy to remember.
