Problems with decimals...

[Drachenburg]

Hello! I am completely new to this forum but have been using Wings for about 10 years. I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this in so feel free to redirect me to another thread where my question will be better suited.

I have been using Wings 1.4.1 for at least 4-5 years and haven't bothered downloading any new version until now due to the fact that my computer crashed yesterday and I have been confined to using my wife's laptop instead. So I went online to download the latest version of Wings but found that I had a major problem with creating new objects and specifying their size using decimals. So let's say I want to create a cube that is X:3, Y:0,5, Z:0,4 then the actual result will be X:3, Y:5, Z:4. No matter how much I tried to use decimals it seem to not work. So I went back online and downloaded 1.4.1 and now it works perfectly like I am used to. Have the option of creating and moving edges and faces using decimals been removed in later versions of Wings or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Drachenburg. Welcome to our community!

The problem you are experiencing is related to the decimal notation. You must to use a dot (.) instead of a comma (,).


p.s. I'm going to move your post to Interface & Usage
