I'm also going to change the distance display from decimal to fractional, and I'm going to increase the precision to 1/64. So this will affect how the command line shows your measured distance. As a model builder, you have to constantly consider the real world dimensions of the components you're modeling. It's much easier to understand and visualize the size of something when we see the measurements displayed as fractions instead of a long string of decimals.
