Anybody know if it's possible to get a 1:1 printout of a layout design from RailModeller, or to create a PDF that will print at full size? I'm happy to either tile sheets together or find a large-format printer somewhere, but I'm not sure how to create the printout to begin with.

I have a layout-module idea that would take some parts I don't have, so I'm thinking of just drawing them on the base so I can build around them and leave space for later.

File -> Print
Pick zoom factor 1:1
Optionally select "Omit pages without tracks"
Make sure to print 2 markers per edge (easier to line them up that way)
Printing the page number in the footer is also useful

No problem ;)

The 1:1 print makes laying flex track real easy, it's actually rather a joy to work with these days compared to the "we'll avoid using flex track for anything except straight sections" approach.
