Re: FRC 2017 Competition Field

First of all, thank you and Autodesk for putting the Field CAD together every year, it's a fantastic resource which I am extremely grateful for. However, while taking some measurements from the alliance wall to the base line I noticed some discrepancies between the CAD and the game manual. The game manual states "BASE LINE: a green line that spans the width of the FIELD and is 9 ft. 4 in. (~284 cm) from the ALLIANCE WALL diamond plate." Measuring that same distance in CAD returns 7.787 feet. Is this just an error in my copy of the CAD or does the official field CAD have this as well?
