Hello all,
I'm from Germany and would like to ask if Bill's plans are available in metric dimensions or only in imperial.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards
Josh

Re: Plans in metric diamensions
If you need metric dimensions utilize your sketchup model.
Use the Window to open the Model Info tab, open the Units tab, change the readout to centimeters, use the tape measure tool to directly measure the parts. All of the parts can be separated from the assembly. Click on the assembly. If parts are shown grouped within the blue lines click ‘Explode’ to un-group them. Click on the part you want to examine, use the ‘Move’ tool to move it away from the assembly. When you’re done and close the program do not save the changes. That way it will be restored to its original state.
