First thing is to upgrade to SketchUp 2014 or above. It has 64bit and a ton of bug fixes. Plus 7 is not supported anymore. I would not say you're in for a shock. Just more goodies around these days. The Premium General Direction Discussion is where Premium content and offers are distributed. There's also a normal and free discussion forum for all things SketchUp and Layout. Just browse around and find your feet. Welcome back.

Thank you TIG I appreciate the reply, My free trial Pro version of Sketchup will expire soon and I will try your Rescale suggestion and see if I can get it to work. I'll edit this post if it works! Appreciate all the help.

And the way it handles large models more effeciently

i think the doubleCad will work.................just as soon as i figure out how to use it thanks everyone for the feedback.
