When attempting to use the Rotated rectangle tool with the following sequence:-
1 click start point
2 drag along any axis (I'm starting with simple example)
3 enter length (VCB)
4 press ENTER (this works as expected and 'protractor' changes to conform)
5 drag to establish direction and approximate angle (at this stage VCB shows:- angle,~length and the screen dialogue shows angle, length, width)
6 press ENTER
however end results are either
1) a rectangle of original length BUT with a width of the same value as I entered for the angle. (This is reported in the VCB with the original length and my input angle as the second value) I can resize using the VCB, but this does not seem to be what the tool is meant to do as it requires additional input.
OR
2) no rectangle with "Invalid input entered"
(I have tried the input in both 45,200 and 45.0,200 with no different result)
I have watched the video and downloaded the PDF, but cannot establish a method from either of these.
The topic posted on Jun 16 does not really relate to my problem.
I am using Sketchup make 2017 and never tried the Rotated rectangle in 2016.
I'd really appreciate some comments, I don't know how showing any examples would help the explanation, as obviously I'm missing some key point.
