      I'm REALLY trying not to be a PITA, so I've been able to search and find most of the answers I've been looking for, but this one has me a bit stumped.

      I've got a DWG file from my architect and I want to start putting furniture together in our new office. The file is flat, and doesn't have Z info, but I'm fine with that. What I DO need to do is correctly blow-up the file I have to 1/4" = 1'.

      I THINK I can take it from there...

      Help?

        create a square that is a 1/4 by 1/4 somewhere next to your content.

        Select all

        Use the tape measure tool.

        click on one corner of your 1/4 x 1/4 square

        click on the other corner

        type the characters 1 & ' and hit enter.

        You're good.

        Check out my SketchUp iconpack. Available here.
