Does anyone know how to create a spread like the picture below? Each page is 24x36 but I need to do three across and 2 down. I need them all to touch (like the photo) because I want to put an image in the centre that spans all six pages. Does anyone know how or if I can do this? I don't want to have to split my image up and hope that it prints correctly.

Thanks!

Thank you Steve! This should do the job.

You can also arrange the 6 pages with the pages tool. If you do that you can crossover between the top and bottom row.

So set up your document with facing pages unchecked:

Uncheck Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle and arrange the 6 pages into a spread. And then with the Pages tool arrange the pages. Here you can see my cyan rectangle occupies all six pages.

Why are you laying out your document like this - just wondering?

These are my boards for my final design project. I need to lay my revit, autocad, and photoshop documents out as a large integrated spread.

You can also do this in Illustrator with artboards. InDesign has a 10 page spread limit.

But this is one page divided by columns. Is there any way to make 6 separate pages look like this on my screen? While I can print this large size on a plotter, I’d rather have six separate pages.

Why do they have to be separate pages? How you using these pages?

This as close as you can come: You can put the pages together in one spread by turning off the Shuffling behavior in the Page panel menu. But even when you set the Guides & Pasteboard preferences to 0 Vertical Margins, you can't have spreads next to each other—there's always a gap:
