  How do I know which is the length and which is the width when using the dimension editor?
  
  ie.
  
  Length x axis? 2000
  
  Width y axis? 2800
  
  Measured dimension tab Area input box equation: ({Length}+1)*({Width}+1) = 10.6
  
  This gives and area of 10.6m but when I do this on my calculator : (2+1)*(2.8+1)=11.4
  
  I have tried to use the expression editor to increase the pit excavation to include a work area of 0.5 metres but the area given by CostX doesn’t match the area given by a manual calculation and I can’t tell what I am doing wrong.
