Numeric Dimensions

For precise work, you need exact control over dimensions.

Why Precision Matters

In real-world applications:

• 3D printing requires accurate dimensions


• Architecture needs exact measurements


• Product design demands precision

Eyeballing isn't enough!

Using the Properties Panel

The Properties panel shows exact values for:

• Position: X, Y, Z coordinates


• Rotation: Degrees on each axis


• Scale: Size multipliers

Entering Exact Values

1. Select an object
2. Click in a number field
3. Type your value
4. Press Enter to apply

Thinking in Units

Our editor uses generic units. Interpret them as:

• Meters for architectural scale


• Centimeters for furniture


• Millimeters for small objects/3D printing

Example: A Table

If 1 unit = 1 centimeter:

• Table top: 120 x 2 x 60 (W x H x D)


• Table legs: 5 x 70 x 5 each

Tips for Precision

1. Plan dimensions first - sketch on paper
2. Use consistent units - don't mix scales
3. Round to nice numbers - easier to remember
4. Check from orthographic view - top/front/side
