Is there a way to edit an object's size in Lucidchart without dragging?  For example I would like to change a door size to be 24" wide.  This is sometimes difficult to do by selecting and dragging.  Is there a way to select the object and the access some sort of properties editor and then just type in the exact dimension you need?

Hi David

Thanks for reaching out in the community. You can change the dimensions of a shape by following these steps:

1. Select the shape

2. Select the "Shape Options" rectangle icon on the top tool bar

3. Enter the desired width and height

I hope this helps.

That does nothing, the box comes up, I change the value and it does nothing.

 

For advertising this as floor dimensioning software it is completely useless.  Every other app allows you just to enter dimensions.  30+ minutes to draw a dimensional box.
