Hello,

In Illustrator, when I create a project in A4, it opens the artboard in A4.

Now I would like to design an object which goes beyond the page limits, so I need to change the scale view of the A4 page : by example 1/10 or 1/100, etc … How to set this scale view ?

Can you post a sketch that shows what you are looking for (before and after).

As per your initial description I’m not quite sure what you want to do.

In fact, I would like to design a stepped wall (with stepped foundations) in a sloping terrain (180 cm for each step), with a total length of 20 meters, and in 3D. Is it possible to have this in Illustrator inside an A4 page ?
