The Value Control Box

The Value Control Box (VCB), located at the bottom-right corner of the screen, allows users to accurately portray dimensions and achieve precision while modeling. Inputting specific numerical values provides lengths, widths, heights, rotation angles, and other dimensions to geometry (Fig. 2-19). SketchUp must be maximized to view the VCB.
