Bonjour Pierre et Michel,

Thanks for reporting the units problems - it looks like internally SketchUp stores all values as inches which I didn't expect.

It should be easy for me to fix this for the next beta release.


For the moment the easiest workaround is probably this - when you want to export from MoI, go to Options / Units / Units options, and turn on "Scale on unit system change".

Then under Options / Units, switch the current unit system to inches. This will scale your model.

Then go back and turn off (uncheck) "Scale on unit system change" and switch back to your actual desired units. This time it will switch the unit system without changing or scaling any numeric values. Now when you export it should be correct in SketchUp.


This won't be necessary in the next beta, I will fix that up to be automatically in the scale that SketchUp is expecting.

- Michael
