    • Exporting correct scale to dwg files

      Hello all, and thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I am using SU 8 Pro, and need to export my sketchup model(s) to dwg for accurate insertion into a Revit model. I am having two problems.

      First, the dwg file is scaled 12x too large. This seems to be an inches vs. feet issue. How do I get the scale correctly exported?

      Second, the coordinate system is not preserved. In the sketchup file, I have translated the entire model so that the origin is correctly located at the insertion coordinates of the Revit model. When I export to dwg, the coordinates get relocated to some seemingly random very large numbers.

      If anyone can help, it would be deeply appreciated. This is for a contractual obligation, and I am out of ideas. I can scale the model down 12x before I export, this works around the first problem. Seems there must be a better solution though. Plus, even after scaling down, translating to the correct location, and exporting again, I am losing the insertion coordinates.

      Please help!
