Dimension not adding up between two sides of a rectangle

Length Snapping is great when you are using SketchUp for what it was originally designed for–making quick sketches with roughly accurate dimensions. But SketchUp is most definitely capable of very high precision if the user chooses to model with high precision.

The advice to turn off Length Snapping has been given on this forum for years. I’ve taught all of my students over the last 15 plus years to turn it off and set Display Precision as high as it will go when they create their own SketchUp templates.

Definitely not. This is something I 3D printed from a SketchUp model this morning. It’s a quick model so a little rough but the screws are M6 x 1.0 and the oval plate is threaded to receive the screws. (One screw is holding the clip on the left in place.)


Lousy phone image.

The model.
