By Emily on 18/11/2013Hey, thanks a lot for responding to my false perimeter 'bug' alert, you're absolutely correct. As soon as the third point is added, the perimeter shows the correct distance.
Your point about outward and inward distance is absolutely correct. Did not realize this earlier. Thanks a lot and God bless! :D
