Printing scale trouble

Hi,

I have a problem that is a little difficult to describe, but I will try my best.

I am making a cardboard model of a boat to make sure that all the parts are correct, and I have developed a new procedure to save time, but I found that the sections were not to the correct scale.

I put my 3D model in the right view and then isolated each section to print them individually, which resulted in unacceptable distortion.

Then I put the model in perspective view, with the plane aligned to reference 0 for each section, and then I went back to the right view and typed “Plan,” and the result was accurate.

Why do I have to do this if I’m in the right view?

I wasted a lot of time, as I had all the sections meticulously cut…ufff.

My issue is in Window 10 OS

Hi Gdigiro -

I’m having a hard time imagining what you are running into. Could you post a simplified 3dm file that illustrates the issue?
