The template determines the unit of measurement for your model as a whole.You can see and change the unit of measurement for your template in the Model Info window.If youre interested in creating a custom template with your preferred unit settings, see Setting Up Templates.Depending on the format you select, different options on the Units panel are available, as explained in the following list.
![]() The options are Architectural, Decimal, Engineering, or Fractional. When you select the Decimal format, youre able to set different decimal units of measurement for length, area, and volume. For example, you might want length measured in centimeters but area and volume measured in meters. In this example, you could draw and measure line lengths in centimeters by default, but an entitys area or volume would appear in meters. For example, the Architectural option lets you fine-tune measurements up to 164 of an inch, and the Engineering option lets you choose up to six decimal places. When the checkbox is selected, trailing zeros appear in unit measurements (such as 3 0 instead of 3). When you draw an entity, like a line or circle, the Measurements box lets you specify the precise dimensions and unit. To use a unit other than the default unit (specified on the Units panel in the Model Info dialog box), you can type a unit along with the measurement. The Measurements box also helps you position entities precisely, with the Move tool for example. ![]() See the articles about accomplishing specific tasks in Drawing Lines, Shapes, and 3D Objects for details about how the Measurement box works with a specific tool or check out this Measurements box quick reference. These details about marking dimensions dynamically explain how SketchUp dimensions work. ![]() By applying Trimbles advanced positioning solutions, productivity increases and safety improvements are being realized.
