yes, I use feet. I walk every day on my feet!
but anyways... I just use feet because so many of my online friends are in America.

okay look here.

I tried to rise the left side to 40 feet, I typed in 40' and it barely did anything. How do I turn on grids or rulers to see how big my shapes are? I even tried typing in 400' and nothing happened again.

Are you actually typing in 12 feet or 12' ?
If in fact you are typing the word feet after the number 12 then you are hitting shortcuts for more tools most likely.
Does this help?

AHHH!! soo.. I just use the ' symbol. hmm.. simple enough. it's too bad I can't draw worth crap and thing still seem to look weird, one twelve feet seems to raise out of my structure, one seems to go back inside my building

Can you attach a screen shot of what your cursor is doing?

Are you using the Push Pull tool to raise the structure?

yes sir, push pull tool.

alright... number 1.

I am dumber than a doornail. I want to raise some structures, how do I type in a dimension for the height of the raise I want? When I start dragging and type in 12 feet, some weird things happened to the cursor, but the raise did not go to the height I wanted

I wanted to stop by the newbie forum and say Hello to everyone.
I am trying to learn Sketchup because of my various interests in architecture, design, mechanics, machines, and all things military.
I will be asking alot of questions. I hope you all have a book of answers ready!
