What do you mean by the comment "This 3D not CAD?" I ask because my experience with 3D is in CATIA and assigning lengths for modeling is a required step.

I see that when I choose the extrude button there a some added options but none for assigning a length. I wanted to see what others would suggest but I have made the assumption that to solve this issue: I will assign my grid measurements according to my length needs and then choose the gridsnap option for getting accuracy.

Does this seem reasonable? What do you do for accuracy?

Thanks for the info on changing extrusions! :wink:
