Sketchup adds a number of methods to classes that implement the Numeric module to make it easier to do units conversions.

Instance Methods

cm
The cm method is used to convert from centimeters to inches.
Syntax:
inches = value.cm
Arguments:
Return Value:
inches - a value in inches if successful
Comments:
Example:
cm = 10 inches = cm.cm

degrees
The degrees method is used to convert from degrees to radians.
Syntax:
radians = angle.degrees
Arguments:
Return Value:
radians - a value in radians if successful
Comments:
For example 90.degrees would return 1.5707963267949
Example:
degrees = 90 radians = degrees.degrees

feet
The feet method is used to convert from feet to inches.
Syntax:
inches = value.feet
Arguments:
Return Value:
inches - a value in inches if successful
Comments:
Example:
feet = 1 inches = feet.feet

inch
The inch method converts a number to a length.
Syntax:
length = value.inch
Arguments:
Return Value:
length - a Length object if successful
Comments:
Example:
number = 100 length = number.inch

km
The km method is used to convert from kilometers to inches.
Syntax:
inches = value.km
Arguments:
Return Value:
inches - a value in inches if successful
Comments:
Example:
km = 1 inches = km.km

m
The m method is used to convert meters to inches.
Syntax:
inches = value.m
Arguments:
Return Value:
inches - a value in inches if successful
Comments:
Example:
meters = 1 inches = meters.m

mile
The mile method is used to convert from miles to inches.
Syntax:
inches = value.mile
Arguments:
Return Value:
inches - a value in inches if successful
Comments:
Example:
miles = 1 inches = miles.mile

mm
The mm method is used to convert a number to millimeters.
Syntax:
mm = value.mm
Arguments:
Return Value:
mm - a value in millimeters if successful
Comments:
It returns a Length value which is the same length as the given value. For example: len = 25.4.mm returns 1 inch.
Example:
mm = 10 length = mm.mm

radians
The radians method is used to convert from radians to degrees.
Syntax:
degrees = value.radians
Arguments:
Return Value:
degrees - a value in degrees if successful
Comments:
For example, 1.5707963267949.radians would return 90.0
Example:
radians = 1.5707963267949 degrees = radians.radians

to_cm
The to_cm method is used to convert from inches to centimeters.
Syntax:
cm = length.to_cm
Arguments:
Return Value:
cm - a value in centimeters if successful
Comments:
Example:
inches = 1 cm = inches.to_cm

to_feet
The to_feet method is used to convert from inches to feet.
Syntax:
feet = length.to_feet
Arguments:
Return Value:
feet - a value in feet if successful
Comments:
Example:
inches = 12 feet = inches.to_feet

to_inch
The to_inch method converts from inches to inches.
Syntax:
inches = length.to_inch
Arguments:
Return Value:
inches - a value in inches if successful
Comments:
This does not change the value.
Example:
inches = 12 inches = inches.to_inch

to_km
The to_km method is used to convert from inches to kilometers.
Syntax:
kilometers = length.to_km
Arguments:
Return Value:
kilometers - a value in kilometers if successful
Comments:
Example:
inches = 1 km = inches.to_km

to_l
The to_l is used to convert from a number to a length.
Syntax:
length = value.to_l
Arguments:
Return Value:
length - a Length object if successful
Comments:
Example:
number = 12 length = number.to_l

to_m
The to_m method is used to convert from inches to meters.
Syntax:
meters = length.to_m
Arguments:
Return Value:
meters - a value in meters if successful
Comments:
Example:
inches = 12 meters = inches.to_m
