Hey everyone. Not sure why this is but I'm using the floorplan templates in Lucidchart. I have a rectangle and the bottom "wall" is 38' 4" and the top wall is 39' 2". This is a perfect rectangle. It's clear to me the bottom wall is measuring inside dimensions while the top wall is measuring outside dimensions! How can I make it the same? It was working before now it's not.

Hi Patrick thanks for posting! It sounds like you built the rectangle using four wall shapes and the measurement text on the bottom wall is on the 'inside' of the rectangle as in the below GIF- is that correct?

If so- you should be able to click and drag on the measurement text to reposition it to the other side of the wall and show the 'outside' measurement. Hope this helps!
