@marshmallow said: nevermind, I figured it out. you have to press enter to finish the move and then type it in and press enter again. Let's have the solution here so the next SketcherUp with the same problem might Google up exactly what they need. You don't type into the VCB. It is a reporter, not an input box. You just type (right, you type into thin air!) and nothing you type matters until you press Enter. Oh, yeah. The VCB (Value Control Box) is that box in the lower-right corner. Recent Google docs have been giving it other names, such as Measurements Box.
