Consensus on accuracy of composite wall components?

[Anonymous]

I've made a bunch of wall composites for our new v14 template but now I'm thinking about the accuracy of the wall components.
My composites use real-world dimensions, eg 64mm metal studs and 13mm plasterboard linings. Now in the world of AC where we can't round our dimensions (please someone tell me this has changed!) this leads to many, many, what we call 'non-rational' dimensions. These generate comments like, "4026mm? ...the builder'll just laugh at that! He can't build to 26mm!" To which I usually reply "Bite me. I know what the builder can build to, so does he. He'll get as close as he can. I'm NOT making every non-rational dimension use custom text! It's a waste of time!" etc etc, you get the idea. ...and then I end up using custom text all over the place and worrying about updates (I use a different pen colour just to make them obvious).

Anyhow, I'm looking at these composites and now wondering if I should bite the bullet and change them all to 'rational dimensions' - say all to increments of 5mm. Forget the 'real world' component dimensions.

So the question is - In the absence of rounding dimensions, how does everybody else size their wall components?

I reckon the volumetric equivalent of the flick would be an excellent measure for dispensing beer! ...Although one may last a lifetime!

re: Centerlines vs edge of stud - point taken.

Barman! 2.83 e-9 flucks of beer and fresh horses for the men! Tonight we ride!

You must be referring to the archaic version of flit which is actually fick. You're right though it is a f**k of a lot of beer.

At about 670 liters one stuk ought to do. Unless you plan to swim all the way.
