How to change the dimension in Make 17?

SketchUp
1

I’m building a model that’s based on 10ths of an inch, instead of the default 8ths/16ths.

Is there a way to change the scale in Make 17.x? I’m searching the menus, but I’m not finding anything.

Thanks.

What exactly do you want to change? Do you want to resize the model slightly? Or do you just want to shwo the dimensions in fractional units?

If alll you want to do is change the units, go into Model Info>Units and change the Length Units frm Decimal to Fractional.

What operating system are you using? “2017” doesn’t identify an operating system.

The latter. I can draw lines in that scale via the standard method, by simply typing the desired value while I’m drawing the line.

But pulling exact 1/10th” measurements of previously drawn lines is proving elusive.

Do you mean seeing the dimensions as fractional?

While you’re in the Units panel make sure you turn off Length Snapping.

Well shucky darn. That was easy.

I hadn’t looked there before, as the feature name (“Model Info“) implies read-only stuff.

Thanks much.
