Those math operations occur at a high precision which generates those long decimals. Well that is slightly harder to explain, but it is due to multiple math calculations occurring to ‘place’ those points. Now you might ask “why 499.99… anyhow, all the operator is doing is creating a box?”. If we were to take that 499.99999999999994 double precision value and display it as single precision, you would get: 500 (which would look more accurate but is actually LESS accurate). Some (most) applications will display values at a lower precision. The actual value is 499.99999999999994 which is a double precision value and a heck of a lot more accurate than the displayed 499.99 (due to display cut-off). Materia operates at double-precision (which is going to be pretty dang good unless you start modeling large models with mm as your standard unit). I think that if you like to keep all of your components on your hard drive, and have really large libraries, this could be a really good way to manage all of that information.You are sort of “seeing” behind the veil here, believe it or not, this is the result of being very precise.
