I’m trying to change units on a sketchup file that shows mm (to inches). I went to Window and then Model Info. Units is NOT visible as an option to change the units. Please help! Thanks, Mary ---

What version are you using? The answer will depend. You state in your profile the you are on version 22 but you also list your license as Free Plan? There is no Free SketchUp 22. Are you using a desktop version or using a SketchUp Free in a web browser? Show us a screenshot of the Model Info window, you say the units menu item is not there? ---

Hi, Thank you for your reply. Attached are screen pictures from my Apple MacBook Air. The pictures show the Sketchup version and the Model Info where Units doesn’t show. I hope it helps. ---

Either your upload failed for the screenshots, or you have not been a member of the forum long enough to be able to upload. That ability is unlocked very quickly, try again. Under model info, units should be on the left hand side list at the bottom if you are using the desktop version. ![Screen Shot 2024-05-26 at 6.19.04 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/c/5/c558ff207248a7e9b2ffb53324d1b25d13433001.jpeg) ---

What does that mean? I downloaded Sketch Up from the site. What exactly was I supposed to download to open my .skp files? ---

No. I did not purchase a subscription. I didn’t know I had to. There was no price for a subscription. My .skp file opened. I can view it. I just wanted to change the units from mm to inches. ---

The problem is you’re using SketchUp Viewer, not SketchUp the modeling software. > **[3D Modeling Online Free | 3D Warehouse Models | SketchUp | SketchUp](https://www.sketchup.com/en/sketchup-viewer/downloads)** > > Use SketchUp Viewer to collaborate and view your 3D model designs from anywhere. Take it a step further and see your designs from every angle with AR/VR apps. You would have to download SketchUp pro to open and edit a model. Or use the actual free version of sketchup which is browser based. ---

> [@mary137013](#): > > I did not purchase a subscription. I didn’t know I had to. You could use the SketchUp trial for 7 days but then, if you don’t purchase a subscription it’ll stop working. There is no free version of SketchUp 2022. What site did you get it from? > [@mary137013](#): > > My .skp file opened. I can view it. I just wanted to change the units from mm to inches. Again, there’s something wrong with the installation of SketchUp or you didn’t actually install it. The Model Info window should look like the one in @endlessfix’s screenshot. ---

Monospaced identified your problem. You didn’t actually download SketchUp 2022. The Viewer doesn’t allow changes to the moddel including changes to the units. ---

So didn’t actually install SketchUp 2022 as I wrote.
