Issue with Drawing Precision and Snapping

N Pittoors

Hi everyone,

 

Everything was going fine, but suddenly I could no longer draw exactly where I wanted. As you can see in the attachment, my cursor is positioned correctly to start drawing, but when I actually draw, it starts at the small black dot instead.

Previously, I could select a corner and start drawing perfectly from there. Now, I also notice that when I extend a wall, it moves in increments of 10 instead of precise centimeters. And when I try to align a wall to a specific point, it just snaps past it.

Does anyone know what’s going on? I’m a beginner learning to work with this program, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

You have enabled grid snapping (alt S). You can turn it off.

Or this button in your menu:
