Begin Problems

Hello
I know the sketchup within one month of development of precision mechanical parts, but this time I am encountering some difficulties and the Forums Brazilians have not had that experience, so I'm posting the first time in the forum and be very grateful if someone can help even indicating that being a topic that already exists on the solution of the problem.
Note: I am Brazilian and my English is not so good, so once again I'm using the help of google for that communication, so if something seems strange that I write, I apologize, but even correcting some things may not make sense.
Questions:
1 - The Sketch up seems to create models within an accuracy of 0.001 (or less), I would like to know of any professional user, it is easy to record as solids for subsequent machining CAM programs and whether he has the details.
2 - Depending on the design I'm doing when I do the orbits, some parts of the design begin to disappear and I'm running it for several sides so you can find a location visible again. There is how to fix it?
3 - When using the tool shape bender all models that I create do not form faces only construction lines. Am I doing something wrong or just that my version of sketchup is not professional?
4 - When working with circles realize that the definition of a Sketchup asks sides and also by what I've been searching the forum would be the standard for rounds of 24 sides. But in many cases I need to see more perfect circles and make better cuts and divisions. I know that can divide the circle in 100 sides but I would like to know a person more experienced in the case of building parts with internal and external threads and other buildings where precise cuts intersect for better, when a solid move to another 3d program that will not be deformed.
5 - Last ..... How to measure an angle?

No Problem with free Version
When you see lines press up Arrow or down Arrow for all possibilities
When you have the deformations whished ---> Press Enter
Et voila

With the protractor tool !
And read the angle inside the little box right bottom corner
(Use Shift for block it on a plan using the 2 lines on the 3D space of the angle )

Thanks for your help
How can i past a image in the forum page for show to you the problem?

Hi Robson,
Below the text area you are posting, there is an "Upload attachment" tab.

And better post also your SKP file by the same way!

Here the skp and jpeg for see
All can see i can use the bender but i create only the lines and no the faces

It also may be due to the size of the parts. Try scaling x10 your model.
When I do small parts with a lot of detail I do this, and at the end I scale everything down again. SU can't make faces in very small surfaces. -

Thanks for your help
I can do with a big size, all faces is ok but i dont know how to do for /10 the scale

Select all the relevant Geometry, Scale it up = type 10, it's now x10 bigger... then do your changes... then afterwards you can Scale down 0.1 .........
