When I try to move the wall a wrong measure comes out, there's an more number.

When I try to move the wall a wrong measure comes out, there's an more number. How should I proceed to bring the measurement all in centimeters, an extra number comes out? Thank you

The settings you suggested to me I have already checked them all, they are all with cm units of measurement. The problem is only given to me when I drag a node, I ling you up the image. Thank you

In the working units you can also set the decimal precision.
You probably have this set to a higher value (which can actually be a good thing for better accuracy).

Having decimals in working units is also great for spotting unwanted inaccuracy.

If I see something is position 814.3 mm on the axis values, I know someone has just been drawing whatever they thought looked good enough and should be careful with not having more innaccuracy in my own model as a result.

1) I solved by putting 0 where I circled in red. Thank you very much
2) I ask, in this forum I inserted a question, of which I have never had an answer, because in the forum I see the new questions asked and then the next day I no longer see them on the list? Thank you
3) why do I not get a notice of notification of a reply on my email? Thank you

The problem with doing this is that it just rounds those decimals but does not snap to that rounded value. So if as Erwin mentioned, someone does do go close enough is good enough, you will have a harder time spotting it.

If you mean you have written a post and then you go back and it it's not there, then it has probably been moved by a moderator.
Please try to post in an appropriate section rather than everything in 'Archicad+'.

If you search in the 'Forum Related Issues' section, you will find the answer to your question.

Thanks for explaining what I tried to explain so much better!

Archicad will still draw with a lot of unseen decimals 'inaccuracy' unless you put exact numbers into your tracker / coordinate input.
