Measurements only go down to 1/8"???

Post by mav99l »

Hi all,

So it seems that I can draw and place walls, floors, items, etc., to within increments of at least 1/32", but I can only measure things down to within 1/8"? If this is true, it's crazy to me and causes major issues.

As an example, I can draw two walls and specify each as that is 5'1/8" long, but one of them might actually be 5'1/16" long. You can zoom in and see that one of them is slightly longer, but you can't adjust the dimensions to equal them in the right-click context menu.

Thank you. Is there a way to have the create dimensions function also reflect these fractions?

It seems that create dimensions only increments in 1/8".

It's hard to drag a specific wall dimension with the mouse. It's always easier to double-click on the wall and in the properties and manually enter the specific dimension in any metric system.
