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
