Using Sketchup to make scale drawings

  • Draw a rectangle if your measurements are not in mm or metres, you must change the scale!
  • take your fingers from the mouse and immediately type the dimensions.  A room might be 4000, 3000
  • Check that your dimensions are in mm if the drawing seems out of scale!
  • Now rotate your drawing to see that the human would fit into your room!  Click the drawing to see an enlarged view of this room.
