Re: strange preset for arch walls
I want to port the Draft & Arch references pages to use the new input fields with units at some point, but haven't looked yet how to do that... In any case, it should unify the prefernces with how things work in the rest of freecad...
Re: strange preset for arch walls
I got the same problem. As workaround I change the value for the Decimals to 0 (view screen shots) and the length, height and width of the wall are OK. Changing the Decimals to 1, 2 or 3 means that the length, height and width have a multiplication by 10¹, 10² or 10³. I believe that a division by 10¹, 10² or 10³ is missing, but I can not find where it is necessary.
Hope this may help to fix the problem.

Re: strange preset for arch walls
The above workaround works for me too.
I have found another workaround. Start FreeCAD without locale settings

Phantastic, that finally changes the erroneous behaviour in Path WB as well: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=17768&start=30#p142250bernd wrote:The above workaround works for me too.

Re: strange preset for arch walls
I'm having a similar problem. I just installed FreeCad, haven't changed any settings. I click on the wall too and draw a line. The default width of the wall takes it past the boundaries of the grid, and when I rotate the scene the wall towers (apparently) several km above where I drew it!
I investigated further, and it turns out the defaults are all correct. The wall is 3000 mm high (not 3 km) and 200 mm thick (not 200 meters), but when I draw the line it's only a few mm long and the displayed grid is tiny.
I can just ignore the grid altogether and zoom way out, but it seems odd that the default view is zoomed-in so much.
I've tried deleting my user.cfg file, makes no difference. Tried re-installing, again no difference.

Re: strange preset for arch walls
Hi Bernie. Please follow the forum rules linked in the help section and add your FreeCAD info. We don't know what system you use, nor which FreeCAD version. If you have changed the units, please tell us as well.
I might add, that I am afraid, that the behaviour described affects the current version as well.

Re: strange preset for arch walls
In a different topic there was a discussion about initial zoom values. They might be changed to something more suitable.

Re: strange preset for arch walls
I think I'm having some of the problems described here.
The grid starts with 10x10mm, all units are in mm, etc. It's annoying to work with mm.
None of the workarounds worked for me.
