      Hello All,
      I am having some difficulties working with metric sketchup vs. imperial sketchup.
      First off my importing from dwg format. For example if I import a line at 1000mm
      it imports at 304800mm. I have double checked my Templates as well as my units.

      The work around I have come up with is a scale factor of .003281 but this does not
      help when I have to keep importing my dwg after changes from there and then having
      to rescale everything each time.

      I also found that when I scaled my model down I experience extreme model disappearing
      when I zoom in.

      Any suggestions?

      Thanks
      dave

        Hi Dave,

        When importing dwg/dxf, always check the Options and set the import units into what the original dxf was made.

        But I am sure you alrteady know that.
