Why is it then when I tell LPub to create the “Layouts” it makes the parts
needed for this step box HUGE, but the images that shows where they go in
the step tiny?

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a place to modify this setting? Could
it be a problem with my .mpd file?
If this is solvable, I’m looking forward to posting instructions to this
little house soon, which would be my first instructions created with LPub.

The issue you are grappling with has to do with scale.....
Since you give me no information to work with I have to guess.
I’d guess that your model is very large, so L3P places the camera very far
back to make sure that all of the model is visible when rendered. Since the
scale is large, the rendering size of a stud is quite small. This would
explain how scale affects the size of the construction image. LPub provides
manual control called “Minimum Camera Distance” that you can use to keep
construction image constant across all sub-models and complete model.
LPub has ways to control the scale of the parts rendered in the part list
image. This mechanism *also* provides a “minimum Camera Distance” to allow
you to force the camera to back up from parts being rendered for part list
images. Please adjust this image to larger numbers to get the camera to back
up.

OK, my laptop is back together and I have enough battery to give more concrete
information.
In the “Building Instructions”->”Steps” tab, there is a “Minimum Camera
Distance”. This one can effect the scale of construction images. It cannot
*make* the camera get closer, but it can make the camera back away.
In the “Building Instructions”->”Part Images” tab, “there is a “Minimum Camera
Distance”. This one affects the scale of rendered individual part images used
to make part list images *and* Bill Of Material pictures. Again, this cannot
make the camera get closer, but it can make the camera back away. It seems like
this one is the one you want to change. Make the number larger and the
resulting rendered part will be smaller.
