what is wrong with this tool. i am following the instructions for placing an angle dimension and it is doing some funky stuff. i have tried it in two locations as you can see in the screen shot and obviously the results are not correct. i also tried it on the roof plan and it worked fine for some reason. I have selected inner dimension construction method,

With the 3rd click, try clicking further away from it, then drag the dimension in afterwards.

Hi, you are probably confusing the angular dimension tool with a click, or clicks.
Please try placing the dimension in either one of this ways:
1. select a first edge (click1)
select a second edge (click 2)
place the dimension to where you wish the dim to appear (click3) or

2. select the first point of vector 1 to determine the beginning of line/edge 1 (click1)
select the second point of vector 1 to determine the end of line/edge 1 (click2)
then select the first point of vector 2 to determine the beginning of line/edge 2 (click3)
and select the second point of vector 2 to determine the end of line/edge 2 (click4)
place the dimension to where you wish the dim to appear (click5)

let us know if your trouble still persists! Tx, k
