Sketchup Dimension Problem

[Rewind23]

Hi Guys, i need assistance....

i am currently working with my ground floor plan..from ACAD2011 i import the plan to SU Pro 7.1 for the 3D modelling...i converted it to .DXF format because when i import using .DWG, the file got errors...i already selected ARCHITECTURAL - Millimeters as my template...so when i started the tracing and use the PUSH/PULL command when i type, lets say the height of the wall should be 3,000mm(in my drawing) the extrusion of the wall didnt seem 3,000mm.maybe i just need to adjust some settings but im just new to SU..im currently idle with this drawing...your quick help is appreciated..any suggestion?

Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
I faced the same problem. It happens because when you import your CAD in Sketchup, by default sketchup takes feet as import unit. So, click import > options > and then change the unit to millimeters (also check the 'Preserve drawing origin')

now i know why. i usually just import everything directly to sketchup and then scale the model so that i get the right dimensions. this is very helpful thanks.
