  It would indeed be very useful to get a pdf of a top-view of the plan (ideally with the dimensions that would fit a board the size that's used in the article, but not necessarily). I was going to get started on that project for a Christmas present but I just can't get satisfying results messing with SketchUp.

  Hi, I have made a pdf file ready to be plotted for cutting all the pieces. It is in 1:1 if printed in A2 format, I added a scale reference anyway. Please note that the thikness of the wooden panel should be 1.5 cm according to these proportions. Download the pdf file here: http://www.studiometrico.com/wp-content/UNABOX-cut-A2.pdf an mail me at mail@studiometrico.com for further questions. Good luck!

  I feel like a total dope, but I have downloaded the dxf, and trueview. What good are the sketchup plans for btw? I have attempted to export plans to PDF but it always insists that the paper size should be A4(210mm X 297mm). I dont understand how the plans will print to that size as the article states that the piece of wood the designers used was 27.5cm X 57.5cm x 1.5 cm... Has anyone had any luck getting the dimensions correct so I can print to pdf and have it printed at kinko's? I dont have access to a plotter OR wide format printer.

  Can we get a PDF of the top down view? I can't get a single file posted here to show up properly.

  I downloaded the Autodesk TrueView but the link here to the files does not work. It opens a text file and not a downloadable file.

  I have looked at your web site but cannot find any files that show the dimensions of the pieces. I tried the PDF files and the .skp files. Where else may I look to find them?
  
  THank you

  Intentionally there are no dimensions you can make it the size you like keeping proportions.

  I understand your goal of just making this scaleable, but it is a major pain in the butt to get some of these parts to print out cleanly and to scale without a lot of work. Especially those of us in the US who don't have A size paper lying around.
  
  It would be a huge help to have some form of dimensions on these that we could scale from.
  
  I love the box and this is just a request for something that would help me a lot.

  Download true view:

  Its freeware from autodesk that allows you to view and print dwgs.
  
  You can then print the plans from the CAD file.
