  1. you'll need to explain more... sketchup supports dimensioning... but when you say 'taking dimensions from' a sketchup file, what do you mean?

    Sorry for the delay in answering your reply ... What I was trying to ask was ... Looking at a given object within a SketchUp file am I able to accurately measure the length of that object or am I able to retrieve the dimensions of that part and take them to be machined as I would a paper drawing?

  3. Yes, assuming it was drawn correctly. Use the dimensioning tool, locate the ends using the usual inferencing etc to get the right edge and it will show the dimensions... see the jpg attached generated from a sketchup file...
