    • RE: Working with very small models

      I was afraid that would be the case with the circles. 96+ sides should still be good enough tho.

      I didn't know I could set the units format to decimal, or change the precision. That tip worked like a charm.

      Thank you, that was pretty much exactly what i was looking for. My model came out much better.

    • Working with very small models

      I was trying to draw and closely examine the intersections of structural tubing with varying wall thicknesses. The pieces included 1.75" OD tubing at the following wall thicknesses: .120" .095" & .083"

      The 1st issue I had was that Sketchup doesn't draw true circles, only x # of sided polygons. Therefore, when trying to measure the tubing at various points, I wasn't getting true readings.

      The 2nd issue was that the measuring tool doesn't give exact measurements. It is limited to approximations (ex. ~1/8", etc.)

      Is there a way to have Sketchup draw true circles, or at least calculate the objects I draw as true circles if it can't actually render a true circle. Also, is there any way to increase the accuracy of the measure tool to include tighter tolerances, maybe even up to .001"

      Thanks,Rob
