Addition Information for Printing:

When printing, Onuma prints what is on-screen. In other words, if you want to show a certain color coded space or building attribute, you must first select that attribute and then select print.

Select your page size:

• Letter
• 11x17

Note: Printing to 8 1/2 x 11 inch is by default set to portrait format while 11 x 17 is set to landscape format. You may rotate the plan and/or the legend to inverse these defaults.

Use navigation buttons to zoom and pan, change font size and displayed labels.

Use Rotation to rotate plan and/or Legend to achieve best fit on page.

Then uncheck layers to not print them:

• Show Layers:
  • Spaces
  • Slabs
  • Sketches
  • Navigation Buttons
  • North Arrow
  • Rulers
  • Legend

Additional Printing Notes:

• Move the North Arrow and the Legend simply by dragging them (the invisible area around the legend sometimes can overlap the north arrow).
• If printed to PDF, the drawing can be re-opened in Adobe Illustrator and scaled to any size without loss of quality since it is a vector drawing (Generally, you will have a pdf printer if you have Adobe Acrobat Pro, however if you need a free pdf printer try PrimoPDF).

Display and Hide (Layer Control)

Display and Hide is like layers in drafting programs, it is basically the ability to turn on and off parts of your Onuma Scheme. This is done on the control Panel to the right. At all three Onuma Scheme Levels; Site, Floor, and Space you have the ability to filter what you see in the Graphical Window, simply by checking things on or off.

For example, if you needed to view the Sketch lines on the Floor Plan but the Spaces were obstructing your view of those lines, you could Hide the spaces by unchecking them in the Control Panel.

Turn the Spaces back on by Checking the box.
