This brings up a feature I really like in Sketchup that ought to be in Chief. Let's call it, "do the math, smarty-pants."
I draw a line in SU, and in the dialog box I see the length as it stretches along as I move the cursor. I stop, and enter, "12/16," and SU makes the line 0.75 units long. I rotate something, and stop, keying in "12:16," and it rotates 36.87 degrees in whatever direction I began the rotation. I move something and type in "99.653/101.333," and it does the math for me.
In other words, I show the intent, I key in my string, and SU makes the move, or the rotation, or the scaling, or whatever transformation I am wanting.Gene Davis
