      All,
      I need some help drawing site plans for my architectural projects. I have a paper copy of the survey and in Autocad it would be as easy as drawing lines at the appropriate length (XX'-XX") and angle (XXD-XX'-XX"). please let me know if there is a plug-in for this or if its already in sketchup. thanks

        Not a plugin suggestion, but you could just add the next line pointing to your zero axis, input length, hit your hot key for rotate and rotate, input angle. Are you using bearings? For that I am not sure about an easy way.

          This plugin might be of some help. It expects Bearing and distance.

          Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.
