I am importing autocad Dwg into sketchup and it comes in the wrong scale.
autocad set in meter,
sketchup set in meters,
For example A column that is 0.30m, in sketchup when i put dim it reads 0.09m

tested in Rhino, works fine.

Thanks in advance.

find out the multiplier and fix it manually:?:

I use sketchup5 (for some reason I get the feeling sk6 runs slower) and I don't have any problems importing files from autocad at the right scale.... Although I work in Feet-inches

i will be getting lots of dwg files from the same people, so i have to find the root of the problem.

you will think is the dwg, but when import to Rhino is fine

thanks

when the dialogue box pop up( where you select the CAD file)...on right , there is a "Option" botton....you also have to pick "meters" there.

i love you mate :

thanks Fernando
