problem with fill tool - measured area

Anonymous — Tue, 06 Dec 2005 13:54:48 GMT

I have encountered an odd problem with the fill tool measured area value, It could just be something simple that I'm overlooking, but I honestly cant imagine what it would be, I've attached a screenshot, and no the house isnt for lego men, the measured value is wrong... any ideas?

cheers,

have you checked your boundaries to make sure they are in the correct place? I once had a problem with the boundaries snapping to grid and it took the longest time to figure tht little thing out.

a good thought, but I did check that out, I even deleted the fill, and recreated it and got the same result, an interesting note: even if I make an entire new fill, say off to the side of the plan, and I make it 25'x25', the resulting area is said to be 58.06 sq.ft.

There's a bug where the area is getting displayed in square meters, but units displayed as square feet. i.e. 25'x 25' = 58.06 sq. meters.

I don't remember the fix, but it was pretty simple. Do a search.

Edit: okay I did if for you http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=27980
