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.

RE: Basic Question for Imported Parts
Thank you again for the reply.
I have so far done the following to try and fix this problem.- Drew up another 4-40 screw and inserted it into the model.
- Had a friend draw up the screw in SW and send it to me.
- 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.
