Print and check your residential interior design sheet set, verifying line weights, sheet continuity, and more. This article walks you through the process, from saving your work to zooming in on the final details of your printed sheets.

Key Insights

  • The article emphasizes the importance of checking the printed files for any kind of inconsistencies, paying close attention to details like line weights, and ensuring all sheets have printed together seamlessly.
  • In the final print, exterior walls should have a wider line weight while demo walls should appear thin and dashed, a result of color correction in the pen table.
  • It is crucial to verify all the sheets in order, from I0 cover sheet to I5, to ensure they have printed correctly, displaying all line weights accurately, indicating a successful full residential interior design sheet set print.

If everything published correctly for you, you should have a file wherever you saved it with your first name, last name, midterm, residential. You can open that file to check out what it looks like. And here is an example.

You can see a couple of things if I zoom in. I'm going to zoom in here in this PDF. You'll notice how I get close to the view, I have different line weights.

For example, the exterior walls are a nice wide line and the demo walls are thin and dashed. And that is due to all of us changing our colors in our pen table. We're also going to want to scroll through and make sure that all of our sheets printed together.

We have our I0 cover sheet, our I1, our I2, our I3, and our I4. And last but not least, our I5. And let's zoom right in there and just double check.
