Sketchup Free is broken: Unable to switch to metric (millimeters or meters)

[BrianL]

Using the triple-line drop down menu in the upper left hand side of the screen, if I go to ‘App settings’ and switch the template to millimeters (or meters), when drawing, the dimensions in the lower right hand side still show feet and inches.

I’m surprised something so basic as this is completely broken. Do you guys even test your software?

You are changing the default template.
Try changing the units in Model info on the right menu.
Second icon from the bottom.
