Metric or Imperial

[CWatters]

Novice/infrequent wood worker here so please forgive a silly question...

Looks like I'll need planning permission for my shed. It's not huge but I'm in a conservation area. I plan to do the drawings myself in Sketchup and then either build it myself or have it built for me.

Would you do the drawings in metric or imperial units?

 

[Slim]

Metric is required.

 

[SketchUp Guru]

You could do the drawing work in Imperial and switch to metric at the end to make the drawings you need to show.

Yeah! that's the best bit Dave, you don't have to worry about all that foreign metric stuff until you need to display it. Long live Imperial I say.

I just wish I could set custom units like furlongs, cubits and rods :lol:

That's what bits of string are for Dave _
