Won't allow me to input the measurement

Hiya, its quite infuriating, but my copy of Sketch Up won’t allow me to input the measurement in the bottom right hand corner. Any idea as to why this is? It also won 't allow me to input the numbers for doing the measurement of a rectangle as you are drawing it.

Do not try and click into the box, just type.

For the rectangle - just draw a random rectangle and then enter the size you want. You can also see that in my video.

Pick Rectangle Tool
Click first corner
Click second corner (anywhere)
Type dimensions separated by comma - so 600,700 or 5’6,8’10
Press enter

I will add… and don’t touch your mouse while writing dimensions

Note too that the SketchUp measurements box uses your system notation, so in countries with the decimal comma you use a semicolon as the field separator.
