Highlight one of the walls that appear to be 90 degrees, activate the
angular dimension, and type "90" which will force it to be 90.000000000
degrees, and then should be able to dimension properly. Alternatively,
change the dimension unit settings from "project default" to user defined,
and change the tolerance on the angular dimensions to go out many decimal
places. Then you will be able to see which 90 is actually 90.000000001.
