      Obviously these dimensions do not add up! This is my first project in LayOut 2014. I have had similar issues in previous versions but have found ways to make them work.

      The blue circles at the ends of my dimension lines are a mystery to me. What are these? It seems that maybe it is dimensioning out of plane, but I have not had this issue with previous versions. They snap to points just fine, but then come up with inconsistant lengths. I can pull a dimension, delete it, and pull it again and it will be different. These are not paper space dimensions as they are close to what the SketchUp model says, but still they are off. I do not use autoscale, but the dimensions that acquire these blue circles become autoscaled with no means to edit the scale.

      Fixes, workarounds, anything as I'm reaching a deadline. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

        Currently dimensioning from a separate viewport with only lines from a section slice. Working great, but would prefer to do this without the workaround. Ideas?

          Are you using auto scale for dimensions? I never use it, set scale manually

            The units and tolerances were set to the same precession in both programs? You've tested that the model is indeed precise to unit?

            I've been having issue with magically changed scale. I complete a set and know I did it in 3/16" and come back later it's 1/8"
