Constructing polygonal slab

[Anonymous]

Is anyone experiencing problems with constructing polygonal slab with proper sizes by typing the values? No matter which values I enter, the next point always appears in the random spot (less than enterd value), but proper direction.
Just try drawing rectangle 1000x1000 using polygonal method.

Did you measure the result?
I get 975,3x1000 rectangle...

Check your coordinate input is on relative, not absolute?

And I get 1000×1000 rectangle!

Are you using 'distance' or are you typing the x and y values?

I've seen people holding down SHIFT to force the distance to be locked, but not having it properly 'ortho' or of they have it properly 'ortho' and then letting go just before entering the value, moving the mouse slightly and everything becomes slightly skewed, because they just end up moving the cursor at the very end.

I'm afraid it is generally PEBKAC...

I am using distance and angle. Relative angle is checked in options.
Aren't relative coordinates default for this input?
Wrong distance occurs only for the first node input, all the next nodes are placed correctly.

Hi.

It could be related to this problem, so another thing to check is if your default elevation is set to 0.

Best regards.
