Problem with DWG file

SketchUp
1

Hi everybody and thank you for those who will read and try to help me. I’m a beginner so I’m sure I have easy problems. My goal is to 3D plan for a flat. The plan is coming from ARCHICAD it’s a DWG that I have uploaded.

1 - I think I have a problem of scale because when I upload the plan it appears so tiny that I spent 10 min to find it. I put everything in meters. So how can I put the right scale and how can I put my plan in the right axis

2 - As my plan isn’t in the right position I can’t use the tools rectangular to create walls. But how can I desactivate the roof ?

Once again thank you

Caroline

or, if you have already imported it, you can use Tape Measure tool to scale it as you wish.

  1. If the ‘roof’ is a group, assign a tag and turn it off. If it is not a group, group the geometry that forms it.

Thank you very much for your answer. Ok I’ve watch the video on how to use the Tape Measure tool but I can’t enter any value… When I draw a line and then when I fly over the “length box” at the bottom right with the mouse I can enter any value. Don’t know why…

Don’t click on VCB (‘length box’ at the bottom right), just type the value.
