Completed project - Dimensions?
-
Hopefully this is an easy question. I have found a completed .skp arcade project that I've been learning with. By using the tape measure I can see that all the dimensions are in the project. By using the front, side, etc. camera views. I would like to be able to select all, tools > dimensions, to show all measurements for printing. Since all the measurements seem to be in the sketchup project already there must be an easy way to do this?
Thanks for the help.
Also if this is possible, Can I resize lets say one side of the cabinet which would increase the entire project size equally? This would allow me to test different project dimensions before the build. Thanks, Marty. -
The Dimension tool doesn't work that way. It is used to put in dimensions one at a time where you place them.
Depending on how you created the model, you could use the Cut List plugin to generate a list of dimensions for the parts. It reports the dimensions of component/group bounding boxes and it's accuracy is only as good as your modeling and the precision with which you drew the model.
As for resizing the model, again, it depends upon how you drew it. Most likely you'll need to resize multiple parts.

Thanks Dave R, There is a layer for each individual part. I will look into the Cut List Plugin. New to this so thought there might be an easier way. Thanks Again.

The layers don't come into it. Did you make components of the parts?
Creating dimensioned drawings isn't at all difficult. It's even easier with LayOut.
