Agreed. I'm wondering if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel on it? If not, go get one. Its an absolute must have for working in SketchUp.

Well. guess what some have a scroll mouse. I don't like to make smart comments however have you traced curved lines in 2 mm increments try for yourself even at a large scale the jumping of the lines are very annoying.If I have overlooked anything correct me. I think the comment about the scroll mouse was a valid comment but the person who has asked that question first sounded like he knows what he is doing.

I am watching with interest. Have the same problem tracing stations of a hull. I had great hopes by downloading the splines, but those snap points are still present. Someone has posted the model of the Titanic I wonder how he has overcome this problem. Ship and boat lines are not french curves, there must be a solution, the freehand is not the solution.

Patrick I can face down but one axis is always on a small slant. I have used blender and I never had this problem because you had three different windows for each axis. Anyway I will try again, thanks

Hi all

I like to retrace a 2D plan. Importing no problem however the x,y, z axis
are never straight therefore I have always a small distortion. Is there any way to fix this.
