Scaling print to a page size

I now know how to print a 2D view only. However, when I print the room I'm laying out, even though the scale is 20'x30', the printed image is small on an 8.5"x11" paper. How do I scale that image up to fit the page? I've tried various page settings, paper settings, and nothing seems to work.

TIA,
TomC

Re: Scaling print to a page size

Choose Best fit scale option in Page setup dialog box. It's also indicated in the help.

Sorry, that doesn't work for me. The room is still very small. And, I did try that before I started this thread.

Re: Scaling print to a page size

You probably moved a small object far from your main plan, misleading Sweet Home 3D to compute a scale which includes this object.
Choose Edit > Select All menu item then Plan> Zoom Out menu item to try to find and delete it.

Yep, that did it. It was the compass, which I moved out of the way when I was creating the room. Thanks so much.
