Length of 91.35mm instead of 91.36mm
-
Hello,
in the attached screenshot you see a total length=91.35mm and the partial lengths 14.46mm + 16.02 mm +28.08mm + 16.02mm + 16.78mm = 91.36mm and not 91.35mm.I have checked the drawing for incorrect geometry. Is it possible that it is due to the limited precision of Sketchup? regardless of this drawing: what is the limit there?
Kind regards

Sketchup is accurate, even to 6 decimal places of a mm. However it will round the display precision if you tell it to.
In Window/Model Info/Units you can change the display precision, if you give it 3 decimals you should see correct dimensions. -
Ok, thank you!
Another thing: sometimes when I measure a simple length with the metre tape, only an approximate length is shown, e.g. ~35. What could be the reason for this? -
Yes, it is best to set it to show fully what you need, and if you are seeing Tilde in the measurements then it is telling you that you don't have the display settings fine enough for it to display accurately.
Be careful of working with such tiny dimensions, while sketchup is accurate it does have a tolerance at which it can see vertices as being the same and it can fail to form faces. -
Ok, a late thanks.
