when i open the choices pane in sketchup to export as a dxf file, it reveals that my object dimension is 30 inches by 17 inches. However the precise dimension of the half is 6 inches by roughly 7 inches. Why is SU exhibiting the improper dims?
second, if anybody has lightburn, when i import the dxf file, its tremendous small and scaling doesn’t work as a result of it imports it with very odd numbers of 0.439 by 0.29 inches.
thanks

right here it’s:) work space is about for inches on this one since it’s a fundamental form to be laser lower
Very first thing I see after I open your file is that the Digicam is about to Perspective. You want to set it to Parallel Projection and the usual High view. Additionally use Zoom Extents to get the mannequin to fill the mannequin house as a lot as potential. It’ll additionally assist in case you regulate the mannequin window to suit extra intently with the mannequin. Strive that and see what you get.
Why aren’t you utilizing LO?

i had it set to parallel projection, i switched it again earlier than saving so i wouldnt neglect when shifting in 3d.
Utilizing zoom extents, and high view with projection, it nonetheless imports extraordinarily small and SU reveals very giant dims within the choices
In all probability the import items.
That is what I see.
odd, mine reveals the 30 x 17 nonetheless. i even tried all the discharge model within the drop down haha
You’re lacking one thing. Return via the directions I gave you and be sure to’ve performed every little thing.

As I wrote, it have to be the improper import items set in Lightburn. I don’t use that so I can’t information you on that finish.

as for SU, it nonetheless provides very giant dims within the export choices. It looks like its grabbing the digital camera view fairly than the precise dimension of the item. IE, the width is 30ish which might match from the left toolbox to the appropriate pane window. SO its grabbing digital camera house fairly than simply the item dims.
Did you resize the SketchUp window like I informed you to do?
These dimensions on the left are for the whole mannequin window. That has nothing to do with the size of the geometry.

sure, ctrl+shift+E to zoom extents.
for now, sick seize the bottom and peak of the bounding field and use that in my laser software program.
You appear to be ignoring the purpose about resizing the mannequin window, although. That may influence these dimensions on the left facet.
zoom extents is resizing the mannequin window? or do you imply to even shrink the window house extra in some way?
No.
Drag the SketchUp window to make the window nearer to the shap of the half.
