I am working on a rectangular building in Deadwood, SD that has one wall that is not square to the world (89.67 degrees).

How can I dimension this with SoftPlan?

I am really having trouble with the inside dimensions more than anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rick you should be able to dimension the wall by setting the cursor angle

Where needed, you could pull an extension from the angled wall junction so you can dimension it at that point since the dimensions will vary along the room (see example which shows a larger angle compared to what you have).

If you dimension you rooms from the exterior, in some areas, you might have to use lines as extensions as you will need them parallel to the other extensions to dimension.
