Layout

Layout

Layout creates a new layout page — the sheet of paper your drawing is composed on, and what ends up printed or exported as a PDF. It runs Rhino’s Layout command: you give the page a name, a size, and how many detail viewports it should start with, and the new page appears as a tab at the bottom of the modeling area, next to the viewport tabs.

The model and the sheet live in different spaces. In the model viewports you work in real millimeters; on a layout you arrange details — framed views of that same model, each with its own angle and scale — together with everything that belongs on paper: dimensions, notes, the title block, your logo. Change the model and every detail on every layout updates with it.

On a layout you can:

• Place one or more details with the Detail command, each at its own scale.
• Annotate the sheet with dimensions, text and dots, and your logo.
• Print the page or export it as a PDF at the exact paper size you chose.
