Is SketchUp accurate in this example?

I remember reading that SketchUp stores its numbers as 16-bit?

Pefect - got it now, 8426.149773 it is :+1: :grinning:

That seems highly unlikely to me, much too small and very uncommon as a floating-point datatype, and I doubt that SketchUp stores coordinate values as fixed-point scaled integers that small either. 16 (decimal) digits might have been what was written in whatever it is that you recall reading, which is about what a 64-bit floating point value can represent (an extremely common datatype).
