    Rebecca,<br>
      When I first started using SketchUp, I used the value control box
    as follows: click to start a line, click to end the line, enter the
    dimension in the value control box before clicking anywhere else. It
    worked fine BUT I don't think it was intended to. I think the
    correct procedure (and the one that works in TRNSYS3D) is as
    follows: click to start a line, move the mouse to get the line
    pointing in the proper direction (BUT DON"T CLICK!!!) then enter the
    dimension in the value control box and press enter.<br>
    best,<br>

      Dear Rebecca,<br>
      <br>
      I am not familiar with  your particular issue as I have never had
      a problem specifying lengths/distances of lines and push/pulls
      with the value control box with TRNSYS3D. However, you may have a
      different drawing setting (Window -> Preferences ->
      Drawing). <br>
      <br>
      Best regards,<br>
