SketchUp8 - How to change model in Inches to Millimetres

[donnan-TNT]

Hi guys,

I have google Sketch up 8 and have set in the preferences to use metric measurements.

When I open the CAD model of 2 Person Standby it's measurements have been done in feet and inches.

I went into Window/Preferences/templates and I can see my settings for Metric still stand yet in the model it only shows in inches.

Does anyone know how I can get these measurements to show in metric instead of the imperial measurements they were first done in?

Perhaps I have to manually work out and change all of these measurements to metric?

Here is the file with millimetre measurements. Hope this helps.

The correct path to change dimensions is:

Window -> Model Info -> Units
Then select Decimal as the Format type. Then select the the unit of measurement that you want to use.

Thank you so much Dan, you saved me a heap of time in having to convert the measurements manually.
