How to properly use the rulers ?

[jawwadbr]

Where should I really aim with the ruler, because if I try to put it in the center of the mini and then put the ruler in the next tile it says 1 meters, but it should be 1.5 meters. There are specific place to put it or what ?

Unit name that I use is Meters, tile size 1.5. I play DnD 5E not using feet but meters.

in 5E any measurement should be made from the edge of a tile to the closest edge of the target tile. Measurements from spells shouldn't be measured from the center of the token casting it but from the edge of the tile they occupy to the closest edge of the tile containing the target. Hope that helps!

Uhm, okay tks, one more thing, every tile shoud be 1.5 meters right ? but when I change Tile Size to 1.5 it just say 1, its a bug or just me being dumb ?

I think it may be a bug that decimal numbers don't work in the rulers setup

I just tried it and measured from one side of a tile to the other and got a measurement of 1.5 meters, so I dont think its bugged.

Remember that if you are going from a token to another token some of the structure of that token will get in the way of the ruler so there may be only 1 meter of empty air between the two tokens from the edge of a token to the center of the next tile.

There are anyway to post a image so u can see what I trying to do ?

That is strange. Since i got 1.5 going across a square its odd you dont get the same result. I wish I could speculate on why thats happening but I'm afraid I'm at a loss. Perhaps it is a bug. have you tried setting up another number just to see if that gives errors as well?

When I put 2.5 or 3.5 just say 1, like the image, but when I put like 5 say 5.

I've the same bug, and waiting for the patch.

In the meantime i've fixed it changing the tile size in centimeters (150).
9 meters = 900 more fast than convert in feet :)

It's patched now, at least for me. They responded in my github bug report saying that the new patch today fixed it.
