General Discussion : Suggestions to create a nest page

The diagram is brilliant.

I selected inches as my unit of measurement.  Does that apply to proportions of the nest, and also the nest height?  I entered 300 for my nest height, but we typically measure height in feet or meters.  How about if the unit of measurement appears in the box after the number?  When I see "20 inches" for nest height but I meant "20 feet" it triggers my attention and I know that I need to make a change.

Are there any impossible values that will get rejected?

Good points.  There is only one place to set measurement units, so that selection applies to all. Changing that would require quite a bit of work to make sure the database has consistent, calculable values stored.

Currently, there are no 'impossible values' blocked by a validation process. It would make sense to establish some minimum values to prevent errors, such as a 1-inch entrance hole.
