Topic: SketchUp Scaling Problem [Help]

Hello,
[img]SketchUp Scaling Problem[/img]
When I downloaded a file off of thingiverse it was too large for the solidoodle bed, so I downloaded an extension for SketchUp to be able to import and export .STL files, so I then opened the .STL file in sketchup and edited it (Cut it in half) so it would fit on the print bed, but when I loaded the .STL up in Repetier, the object was exactly 25x smaller than it should be (I loaded both un-edited files into Repetier and then scaled the one from sketchup until it matched and it is 25x scale smaller). I tried changing the units when exporting from Sketchup, but no luck. Any help on this would be appreciated, or I could test a couple more objects and see if they are all 25x smaller and just scale each object every time. Thanks.

When I use SketchUp   , I start it using  mm as unit of measure.
