Sketchup Scale Tool Tip
Did you know you can type an exact size when using the scale tool?
I was always sure typing in a multiplication or fraction were the only way to go, but apparently there's more.
After selecting the direction you want to scale in, you can type in a distance with units notation, for example: '100 cm' (Don't forget the space!) and the component will scale to 100 cm.
This saves lots of time and comes very handy when scaling Flex components too.
