Blum Hardware

Hi,

I got 60 days worth of DYNALOG with mu Blum catalogue, which is great, I can export DWG files from it and import into sketchup. Just one problem........scale, after importing the components are massive compared to my drawings.

Ive tried using the scale tool to bring down to size but its a pain to get it accurate. I would like to import at the correct size

Any ideas

Thanks,

Simon

Hi Simon,

When importing a dwg/dxf file, do not miss the import options (bottom right of the file browsing window when importing). There you need to set the correct unit the original file was modelled in.

Also, when you are at it, some dwg/dxf files contain geographical data. Best is to uncheck "Preserve drawing origin" below the units settings as SU may import the cad file many kilometres/miles from the origin thus causing serious head-aches with clipping and other issues.
