Curious why suddenly out of the blue my over-all dimensions are .25" off on everything I try to dimension this way.
Until today it has not happened. Is there a setting that got changed somewhere ? I attached an example of what it is doing. The points are snapping to the same points so they should both equal 8'-4".
Solved! Go to Solution.
Here you go. I have saved it to open to the floorplan layer. In particular the problem here is the rear porch overall of 50'-0" ends up being .25" off when the dimensions are broken down for the fireplace. I appreciate your looking into this. I can override the dimension to make it correct but if I override it then any changes wont update and opens up the door for mistakes.
The 29'-8 3/4" dimension is rounding down from 29'-8.81527676" (nearest 1/4"). The 13'-3" dimension is rounding down from 13'-3.08293482". The 6'-2" dimension is rounding down from 6'-2.10160531". The total loss due to rounding is 0.24981689", or the "missing" 1/4". Your units are set to architectural, rounding to the nearest 1/4", masking these small drafting errors.
