      Hi, I'm a newbie of the forum and I'm from Italy.
      Just a question about Google SketchUp: how can I set the numerical dimensions of a pre-existing parallelepiped without known dimensions?

      Thank you
      Daniele

        you can use the tape measure tool

        assuming you know at least one of the actual dimensions, measure that line with the tape measure then immediately enter the dimension you'd like it to be..

          Thank you very much!
          And, if I want to place my object at the start of the axies X,Y,Z, how can I do that?

            Hi Daniele, hi folks.

            Use the Move Tool:

            1 - Grab the object by the endpoint that you want to be at the axes origin (X=0, Y=0 and Z=0).

            2 - Move untill you get a snap from the origin.

            Just ideas.
