Never really done dormers before and can't seem to get them placed where I'd like them. THANK YOU! Plan below https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7xgor2a9sf8d7zihgn6vd/DORMER-1.plan?rlkey=lfsgf3gnxq9dz18zgpaykx4fl&dl=0

Thanks again John but 'the reference grid' and grid snap units are two different thing to my understanding and I use the snap units to nudge and locate objects small amounts. The 1/2" simply wouldn't work for me. To quote you "I'm pretty very sure all of this traces back to the 1/16" grid grid rounding this plan file was drawn on" and thanks for your help in discovering that info.

Thanks for the reply John. I have my primary dimensions to default to 1/2" because I don't want anything more accurate than that in my plans hence 12 - 5 7/16" is indeed close enough - for me. And YES it was the grid rounding setting that was causing the issue (I kinda remember that from the past now). Will probably never understand that but don't really need to and will change the setting going forward. And again thanks very much for taking the time to look over the plan!

Interesting?

Thanks and maybe to the theories but, as I always do, I select a wall, type in the measurement as in i.e. 11' - 8" then hit enter and the measurement shows as 11' - 8 1/2" - and only in this room? Have this happen and explained in the past but can't remember why Chief will sometimes behave this way. Has some thing to do with rounding algorithms? Dunno. Will post the plan

I think I understood this at one time but am a bit baffled by the behavior today. Each measurement in the pic is set to a whole number measurement but each measurement has an added 1/2" when finally displayed. Doesn't present a genuine problem in this case but could in a different context. Any help appreciated. ...and it only happens in this room. THANK YOU

OMG, I swear I looked all over for that setting. Thanks Gene.

Can it be done? THANKS

Yes Alan much better! Who'da thunkit?

THANK YOU GENE! Had no clue about the muntin width setting. I'll probably not mess with the connection issue right now but will keep your idea in mind.

Been working on this for no less than an hour and can't seem to get it right. Any help greatly appreciated. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xiummhhsepflm3x7v8w3o/MUNTIN-PLAN.plan?rlkey=iiymodnpdpfwv0cbc7evfxtne&dl=0

I'll be darned if the walls were just out of alignment enough to throw things off. Thought it was kind of entertaining. Annoying but entertaining. THANK YOU

Just discovered this thread and want to thank you all for the great tips. Worked a treat in my custom application.
