I created a quarter circle from the center of the cylinder base, and tried to use Follow Me to sweep it around the circle. Instead of creating a dome, it’s …

This is not a bug. It sounds like you are working way too small. Use meters as mm and try again. Sketchup doesn’t create really tiny faces when edges are less than about a thousandth of an inch. Which version of SketchUp are you actually using? Your profile indicates SketchUp Pro but you posted i…

It’s Shop, I’m using the web app, Shop wasn’t an option, and the profile info wasn’t a priority to me when I was setting up an account. So, making an LED is impossible, then. I really don’t need an LED measured in meters.

While that works for making blueprints (scaling the image to represent a different measurement) it doesn’t work as well for 3d printing, where the point of making the entire project at 1:1 scale is part of the reason to computer model it. This component is just for testing that everything fits prop…
