So the time has finally come to where we are going to compile our PDF for our BIM 301 final. So I'm going to jump into my print settings. So I'll go to file and print, or you can just hit control P on your keyboard.
And we're going to print multiple views here. So I'm going to change this to selected views and sheets and combining into one file here. And then we'll go to select.
I'm going to uncheck views. And then I want to select the remainder of my sheets from my midterm. Just like we did at the midterm, we can do a save as, and we can call this one final.
And we're going to use that arch E1 again, just double checking to make sure all the parameters look good here. One thing I would do is I would encourage you to use this hide on reference view tags because you could have created many sections or elevations or something that you wanted to see here that are not going to be printed because they're not on a sheet. We'll go ahead and hit okay.
And if you're worried about what your sheet's going to look like, you can always go to current window here, preview it. Remember, we're going to get this because we have the raster images here. Everything looks good.

So I'll hit print. Takes me back to my dialog box. I'll change it back to the selected views and sheets, reconfirming that it does say the combined multiple selected views into a single file.
And I'll hit okay. And we'll let it run the PDF here. The PDF is ready to save.
So I'm going to save it as the BIM 301 first last, and I'll call it final. And we'll let that run. And here it is, the PDF.
I've got 11 sheets in here, and it's looking pretty good. If there's things that you want to change as you see it going through and you're like, I wish I would have changed that, then now's the time you want to go back in and you want to revise it and you want to make sure you have the best print possible here. One of the things I'm seeing that I'd probably change is I would take a look at this section in my ceiling plan and evaluate whether or not it needed to be on.
And I'd certainly adjust it so that the tag was down here for my demolition plans. I'd probably not have these sections turned on, but everything else just generally looks pretty good and I'm very pleased with the way it turned out. We'll go ahead and save and that'll do it for lesson six.
