However, back when I first started this project, I purchased a copy of Home Designer Architectural 2014 (not Pro) and later found that it wouldn't produce anything larger than 11x17 docs - which is not good enough for construction documents.

I've downloaded and played with the trial version of 2015 Pro, and it seems like it will probably do the trick after I learn to use it correctly. I'm beginning to think that rather than continue monkeying around with SketchUp, I might ought to break down and buy a purpose-made piece of software to complete the project. I've got the design of the house basically complete (including a partial set of construction docs produced and printed from LayOut), but I really need to produce an actual complete set of working construction docs for HOA approval, building permits, and construction. SketchUp has gone totally wonky on all 3 of my machines, and the file I was nearly finished with now appears to be unusable. I've been using SketchUp Pro and LayOut to design a house we're getting ready to build.

I realize that's probably a loaded question, so let me give a little background.
