Dimensions

Hi,

I am a beginner and first thing that I need to know is about dimensions.

I am setting the dimensions to metres and then when I draw a wall and I enter 5 (metres), the wall it is not coming 5 metres. maybe it is coming 5cms or inches!

Thanks
Eman

Looks like either you didn't set the units correctly (look f or Project Preferences -> Working units) or after clicking to place the first point of the wall you didn't input the distance correctly by using SHIFT+R 5, enter.

Hi Ejrolon,
Yes you are correct, I didn't set the units in working units. Now it's ok.
Thanks for your reply.
