Hi new to Sketchup and Profilebuilder4 so forgive me if this is a daft question.

I have created a basic nut / bolt assembly in profile builder 4 and want to scale it up, started at M10 size and did a basic multiplier of the original parts to get M16 size, when I try to build a new assembly it says the original component has been scaled and it will use the original size components, is there any way to use the scaled up parts?

Cheers

  Hi Nick - you need to scale the underlying geometry.  Double-click the component, select all geometry, and then use the scale tool.  Make sure the component itself is not scaled by right clicking and choose 'reset scale'.
