Post subject:  More precision in build tools

Currently Cool Viewer only displays the position and size fields in the build menu to a precision of three decimals. Would it be possible to expand those fields to four decimals for position and five for size as is done by the Emergence Viewer? Also, would a third decimal be possible in the rotation field as is done in Firestorm Viewer? As a builder, the precision of the build tools is honestly about the only thing that keeps me using Emergence over Cool Viewer.

You can already set the number of decimals in the build tools, from the Preferences floater, "Cool features" tab, "User Interface" sub-tab, "Decimals for Pos, Size and Rot parameters in the build tools" setting...
Note also, that even though the build tool displays a limited number of decimals, you can still enter more decimals than displayed (and they will be taken into account, provided the resulting change of the parameter is greater than the minimum displayable decimal; i.e., changing 8.541 to 8.5418 will not pass if you display only three decimals (minimum accountable change = 0.001), but a change from 8.530 to 8.5418 will actually set the parameter to 8.5418).

Well that serves me right for asking without checking first, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
