Guys,
I wonder if you can help?
I'm running Solidoworks 2011 on a 64 Bit machine.
I have recently purchased some sycode software to export parts and assemblies out from native Solidworks into SKP (Sketchup) format.
http://www.sycode.com/products/skp_export_sw/index.htm
I have just exported a sofa which is some 5.3ft wide and after converting its come into Sketchup as 135ft wide.
So it looks like its scaling it from a metric to imperial sclae and therefore multiplying it by 25.4 times.
I've asked sycode if I can influence the export scale but they say they cannot.
So apart from scaling down my model in solidworks then exporting or doing the same in Sketchup (which is a bit late as the file sizes are huge as a consequence)
I'm at a loss.
Any alternative ideas?
Jason
Try changing your model units to mm in the Document Properties, then export to Sketchup.
Also check the Import options in Sketchup to see if you can specify inch units for import instead of mm.
Cheers,
Anna
