Hello of us!
I’ve transformed a floorplan from pdf to dfx and imported it to SU, utilizing a 2D template by milimeters.
I wish to use a line witch is 24 meters (24000 mm) to set the size utilizing “Tape measure device.”
(Su is studying this line to be ~240mm). When I attempt to set the size to 24000 mm, it ends far out of the floorplan. If anybody can inform me what I’m lacking right here, I’d be a contented Sketchuper.
That’s saying it can upscale by about 100x. Does it look that a lot smaller than your mannequin? Obtained a display screen shot of what you’re seeing?
Assuming that the DXF geometry is a bunch, sure, while you edit the group, measure the road with the Tape Measure after which enter a brand new dimension the complete group will scale up, so if there’s unfastened geometry distant from the road you might be measuring the road would possibly transfer distant.
However seeing the file or seeing a display screen shot or two would assist perceive what’s occurring.
Hello once more!
It is a screenshot of the floorplan. I transformed the pdf another time with inkscape and now it seems just a little nearer, however nonetheless SU gained’t settle for the size I wish to set (24000 mm) witch is the actual lenght of the road. You’ll be able to see the measure SU wantit to bee, 23039 mm.
Thanks for the reply.
See my reply to RTCool.
So that you’re typing a quantity (24000) with none items, appropriate? Are you positive your doc is definitely in mm not cm or inches as an alternative by mistake? (I’m not saying it’s, however one thing I might double verify simply to make certain) It doesn’t matter what the doc’s items are, you possibly can at all times sort in others so long as you sort the items with the quantity. For instance, within the US utilizing inches for cabinetry, in case you have European {hardware} that want a 30mm bore gap, you possibly can sort 30mm and get the proper measurement. On this instance, I ought to assume you possibly can sort 24m and get meters even when the doc is in another items. Right me if I’m unsuitable.

That is the unique pdf. Normaly in Norway we use the unit mm, however as you possibly can see, on this plan the measurements are in meters. I’ll attempt to use a template with meters to see if that helps. However I’m positive SU kan tel the distinction betweem meters and millimeters automaticaly. Agree?
That is what occurs once I set scale to 24 meters. 2D template in meters too.
After inserting the .DXF, use Scale device and enlarge it just a little (2x). Then enter the group and scale it to the specified measurement with Tape measure (with Ctrl).
Use the .DXF solely as a reference (type of) and draw every thing in SketchUp manually getting into every dimension and positioning of the weather, if you wish to create an actual mannequin.
