    • RE: Basic Question for Imported Parts

      Thank you for your comments.
      I have a couple more questions if I may ask please.
      How do I turn on hidden geometry?
      Where is the option for the poly circle count?
      I do have the free version of SketchUp. I have looked and I cannot find these options.
      Thank you.

      Thank you again for the reply.
      I have so far done the following to try and fix this problem.

      1. Drew up another 4-40 screw and inserted it into the model.
      2. Had a friend draw up the screw in SW and send it to me.
      3. In SU. I have gone to Window/Soften Edges and tried different settings.
        Nothing has worked so far.
        I am trying to render this in Kerkythea, but this has stopped me cold.
        The 4-40 button head screw is .214 in diameter, so I tried a smaller screw and it shows up correctly. So far, everything is showing up correctly but these 4-40 screws. I am totally lost as what to do at this point. I have probably spent at least 8 hours on this one problem. (trying different settings and looking up any possible answers on the internet)
        The model by itself has 15 sides (head diameter) when I insert it into SU by itself.
        I have included the model.
        Could someone please look at this?
        Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
        Thank You

      Thanks for the quick reply.
      Sorry for the quality. Its late and I don’t know how to use the program efficiently.
      Again, only the screws are like this. The rest of the model has the correct radius on the correct parts.
      Thank you.

    • Basic Question for Imported Parts

      Hello,
      I am just starting with SketchUp and I have a basic (I hope) question.
      I have an assembly of a small engine that was made in Alibre. When I export it to Sketch Up, some of the engine screws are round, while others are hexagon.
      The screws are 4-40 button head which should be round.
      While in SketchUp, is there a way to modify this?
      Thank you in advance.
