Prepare the full plan set

Use Export Plan from the workspace for the connected framing, foundation, decking, elevation, detail, takeoff, and related sheets. Complete customer and company information first.

Auto Fit is the safest starting choice. Force a scale only when the sheet size and deck footprint leave enough room for the drawing and its notes.

• Readable dimensions, notes, callouts, and detail images.
