Importing CAD Drawing file to SketchUp 7

Can anyone help me?

when i import a 2d CAD file to SketchUp for 3d, the dimensions from the CAD file changes when imported to SketchUp. an example of this is when i have 3000mm in Autocad 09, when imported to SKetchUp 7, i get 914400mm.

 

Thanks so much...

I'm a beginner...

 

And does 3d modelling in Sketch Up slows when you have larger Dimensions?

thankx........:D

The difference in the scale factor you have noticed is the scale factor used to convert from Feet (Imperial) to millimetres (Metric), for example there are 304.8mm in 1 foot

I had the same problem when I first started using SU. Take a look at the screenshot and make sure that your dialogue box resembles the one shown. You can get to that screen by clicking the "options" button.

As far as I know, it does not. I always "scale up" a drawing if I'm doing some detail work to it and I've never had any slow downs.

 

Showing shadows or showing hidden items does slow my computer, though.
