Not a bug, but decimals should be allowed. For example, in the Move Properties, I can only type full integers, but I only want to move it 0.3 units.

The smallest amount you can use is actually 1 unit so there is no need to have decimals.  |

But if you want your Coordsystem to be lower? I know many people that expect 1 OpenGL-Unit to be around 1 metre. I think, allowing decimal numbers would make DeleD more flexible.

Ah, okay, that's what confused me. Now a lot of things make more sense.
In DirectX, you are allowed decimals. In fact, in my game, I use them all over the place. Each cell is one unit. Thus, many times, I need decimals to make my objects. What I ended up doing is making everything 32 in size and scaling it back in the code.
This probably explains when a cylinder is exported, it loses it's rounded-ness.
Though, if the true scale is always integers, how can you free-move objects with the mouse so percisely when snapping is off? Does it round off when you save it? Does it round off when you export it like it seemed to with my cylinder?
I'm a nutty (can be read as enthusiastic) programmer, sorry for prodding so much.
