Sketchup Experience: Learning.
I am learning the program and cannot figure out why two components do not match up visually, even though the dimensions indicate they should. I recreated the components and got the same result when using them in a new part of my model.
Also, I created the two components at the same time using the same guides and they matched visually at creation. It is only when reusing the created components.
Share the .skp file so we can see exactly what you’ve set up. Looks to me as if you have Display Precision set too coarsely for what you are modeling and you probably have Length Snapping enabled.
So exactly what we both indicated. Set the Display Precision to something more suitable. I would set it to 1/64" even though I wouldn’t work to that in the shop. And turn off Length Snapping.
The Tilde " ~ " next to the Tape Measure Tool shows when measures are approximate. So that’s one indicator to be aware of.
Profiles in Styles → Edit can be turned off. This will turn your style into a ‘fast style’ as indicated by the tiny icon in the bottom right corner of the style icon. The line (edges really) are then smaller. For some these smaller lines make it easier to see when edges are on surfaces, etc.
Save a template using Save as template with Length snapping and profiles off as well as the display precision you want.
