A country with no pennies should have rounding.
What about this?

WE also have the issue that the centreline of structure is often not centreline of finished wall, and at 1:100 who can tell what is being dimensioned.
I was referring that meters is not the only option. Though rounding to 0 or 5 cannot be specified maybe you can consider dimensioning to centerlines as an option? It should be precise and avoid those rounding errors. HTH.

It doesn't matter if overall dimensions do not tally exactly with the sum of the dimensioned parts that have been rounded, so long as the overall discrepancy is within the rounding tolerance set (it should be)

Also I like to dimension finish to finish rather than core structure quite often, and different permutations of linings give different results.Paul wrote:in that case, it shouldn't matter if you round up your model lining thicknesses in the composite structures dialogue should it?
