Hello!

I am Tre and am new to sketchup. I have been using it for about a week and I wanted to introduce myself and ask a question.

I have a circle drawn and it's around 12.7 mm radius. I noticed the segments box after I have drawn lines to the edge of the circle. I want to increase the segments to get a finer circle edge but can't do it. I have selected all around the circle- 24 segments and still don't see how. How do I increase the segments of a circle after I have put lines(components?) to the edge of it?

Thanks for your help,
Tre

Hi Tre and welcome here.
Select the circle (not the surface) then open the context menu (mouse right click) > Entity Info
and there you can change the segments number.

Hi Tre,
You can also increase the line segments of a curve...before you actually draw it...by simply typing the number you want and hitting Enter as soon as you select the Circle tool.
You cannot edit any curve, however, after you've done anything at all to it...even just push/pulled it into a cylinder.

Note however that you can only do this for a limited period of time after you draw that circle. Once affected by other geometry (like PushPulling for instance), the segment count of the Entity info box will be greyed out and you cannot change it any more.

Best is to do what Alan says.

And welcome to SCF.
