Measure

Hi there. "Can anyone help me understand why my Archicad job's measuringl isn't working?"I mean, when I use the wall tool and click to measure, it's not working. The wall that I created goes nowhere after clicking the measure.😁

Wall tools measure? Maybe share a screenshot?

Do you mean the tracker that appears as you draw the wall?

First, I select the wall tool or any line tool and then specify the measurement for the direction I want. After that, I press enter, but the wall or line goes in the opposite direction.

Make sure your tracker is set to use relative co-ordinates.

Hi Barry.

This is the setting. Should I change it ?

Yes those settings in the Work Environment are good and the setting I am referring to is in the tracker icon.

Foward slash ( / ) toggles between the two options. Sad maths...
