      after a rather long hiatus from sketchup, i noticed something strange: when i enter a distance by using the numpad (e.g: 2,51) i get the error "invalid distance". i have to use the dot that is on the "main part" of the keyboard. what gives? really annoying. it used to work if i remember correctly.
      maybe there's an option somewhere to switch from the US decimal style 12.42 to the euro 12,42?

        The dot is used if your OS is English. I see your location is Germany. What is the OS language on your system?
