In this video you can see I create 8’ lines a few times and Rhino creates lines of different lengths.
Even before clicking to finish the line, the tool tip showing the length of the line based on my mouse cursor location varies wildy.
When does this happen? Is there a snap or setting I have turned on that’s causing this?
I see you have Project turned on in the Osnap panel, is it possible you are snapping to something in 3D that you don’t realize because you are working in Front view?
Hmm, nothing I can see that it’s snapping to or referencing. With Project turned on it really shouldn’t be snapping to anything
Hi Thomas -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Hi @thomasO
The SmartTrack point you set at the top, at the end of the blue line - right before you make the last line - is used as the “distance track point”, so that your 8” distance is measured from the point, not from the starting point. You can tell by the distance showing up in the smart track “tool tip box”.
HTH, Jakob
