    What scale is your AutoCAD drawing? You should have drawn full scale in AutoCAD and insert full scale in SU. Can you post the file?

    When you import the DWG file there will be an options button on the right, click on it to set inport scale.

    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)
