It's sometimes a good idea to save your plans as an image before printing. An image can be:
 * Handed in to the HANDINS folder for pre-printing evaluation
 * Loaded into a webpage as evidence of the planning of your projects
 * SAVING AN IMAGE**
 * 1) VIEW your image properly - VIEW from TOP and ZOOM EXTENTS to optimize the framing
 * 2) Use FILE - EXPORT - 2D Graphic
 * 3) Choose a FORMAT at the bottom of the dialogue
 * 4) PNG works well for illustrations like plans
 * 5) JPG may be better for photos
 * 6) Save the image to your tech folder using a name you'll remember for uploading later

Sketchup will attempt to print the CURRENT VIEW on your screen, so it's important to set things up properly to ensure a clear and readable printout.
