For example - Let's print a pattern for the main truss in the example.3dd file found in the ModelSmart3D library folder.

Select "Files|XY Plane Tiles | Show Tiles"

(You can move the tiles if you wish, by selecting "Files|XY Plane Tiles | Move Tiles" from the menu, then using the mouse to locate the lower left corner of the tile set)

Step #3

To print, select "Files|Print XY Plane"
