Wall thickness

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have a following problem with the wall thickness. In my main computer the wall thickness works fine archicad 17, but in my main laptop the wall thickness takes only the values 1,2,3 etc. When i put the value 0.25 the thickness become 0, when i put 1.35 the thickness become 1 etc. My working units are meters with two decimals. Any ideas;

Follow David's post again and check you aren't trying to enter 0.25 as a fraction of a millimetre rather than a fraction of a metre.

Maybe you could post a screen shot of your units and dimension settings.

Finally i solved it!!! i changed from the region settings (additional settings) window the decimals character from comma to dot. In my deskot the decimal character is set to comma and archicad works fine. But in my laptop needed to turn it to dot. Do you believe this happens because the laptop is gift from USA;

yes, that is the US' standard.

You can go to your system settings, see attached, and change it to your local region.
