4:15 Welcome to the Metrics club Aaron, this is already an improvement😁👍 Nice tips as usual.

For things this size for 3D printing I always set units to meters so I am modelling at 1000x scale, This avoids problems with the "small triangle" SketchUp problem. Then, when exporting to stl format, set the units to meters, but when importing the model into a slicer, just make sure the units are set to millimeters.

Showing the color of lines for axis… brilliant, this is going to help, thank you. Always learn something every day

@Jedders1968 13 дней назад

The color by axis feature was something I didn't know. Thanks.

@hermanvandenbroek9152 10 дней назад

color by axis is not foolproof though! edges can be a very tiny amount off axis and still be displayed as on axis by this feature..

Wow thank you i hate length snapping and didn't even know it

@MickHealey 11 дней назад

Thanks Aaron. Colour by axis was the big takeaway for me.

Thanks Aaron, this was SU 301. To avoid an inaccurate snap point, I always extend my line beyond the necessary and cut the excess piece. Now I will try with the length snapping disabled.

Excellent video! I work in an office that has two 3D printers. I've been thinking about using SketchUp to print something. This video gave me some good tips. I'd like more videos on the subject.

Nice video, thanks Aaron. Does scale affect accuracy at all? i.e. if I draw something that should be 9.5mm long but draw it 10x the size to prevent issues with small circles etc and then scale it by 1/10th does SketchUp scale it accuraly to 9.5mm or does some inaccuracy start to occur at a certain scale level? I know I could go and have a play around to see but you guys are the experts so I thought I'd ask first.

The word you’re looking for is millimetres 😂

Is that not what he said at 4:15 ?

"Enable Length Snapping " should have been .. "Enable GRID Snapping... with adjustable spacing possible

Re-aligning section planes - is there a way to do this without deleting it and making a new one?

@JayHuemann 12 дней назад

Thank you for this. Some very helpful stuff. Decimal seems to be a big one that I have missed. Thanks. I still can not use the arc tool to make an arc less than 1/8" of an inch. Is there something I am doing wrong? Thanks!

@hermanvandenbroek9152 10 дней назад

Yes, scale up by 1000 or model in feet as if they were inches. SketchUp was made witch architectual drawings in mind and has trouble with tiny edges and faces. So scaling up solves your problem. If you want your model to be accurate size, just downscale after finishing modelling.
