Smallest Cut Dimension

    Hi


    I'm working in free design and have two timbers meeting - I want to produce a 0.5mm gap between them which means taking 0.25mm off each beam - the smallest allowable cut seems to be 0.301mm. Is there a setting that limits this smallest cut dimension and does it automatically round up / down to the nearest 0.3mm on other cuts?


    I am trying to account for timber swelling (due to moisture) tolerances along a length in the design which is why the dimension is small. I have never noticed this before - does anyone have any suggestions?


    Cheers, Mike

    Thanks Planer - have just put the timbers in and specified the length I want


    On another note I entered the length of 924.25mm (the measurement tool confirmed this) but the object info box has rounded to 924.2mm :question_mark:

    No - don't need that kind of tolerance but it is just the fact that the software is round up / down measurements - just wanted to know it it was an in built setting or something that could be modified - cheers

    I think the process list is rather exact, but the program does not accept very small changes. You could not make a very short cut, and I could not push a rafter or a wall post by a fraction of a millimeter.
    If you really need the precision, there is the way I described before (+100 / -100.25).


    Precision sometimes needs a compromise in 3D construction, and in my opinion the software does a good job. :smiling_face:
