Relative <x,y,z> and absolute [x,y,z] coordinates in free Sketchup for windows

[dmc]

I even tried the semi-colon entry <x;y;z> and they don’t work. Does it require a paid version or am I doing something wrong?

What exactly are you trying to do with these coordinates?

I’m guessing it could be a follow up to the latest Adam Aaron Video ?

Coordinate Input

video that follows up this thread

I would like to start a line at a fixed point such as x=5 and y=5. Is there any way to use coordinates in Sketchup?

I’m trying to use SketchUp to accurately draw some mechanical components. Is it possible to enter (or see) a specific coordinate or grid? I have read some posts that question the need for a grid because, I can draw one. I would find a grid that is not a part of the drawing very useful. Coordinates would also be a godsend.

oh yeah, Aaron. I just woke up, my brain was clearly still on my pillow, I guess I grabbed the first A-name I thought of . I’ll blame it on the heat wave and tropical nights of this week
