So, i have looked around everywhere with no luck.
I'm a bit of a stickler for keeping sizes of my buttons lined up and similar.

i know you are able to resize elements by click and dragging, but is there a way to manually input the pixel dimensions for the element,

I would find this helpful when you are attemtign to create different element layouts that are based on different splits of other dimensions.

I.e I have a few sliders that i want to be exactly 1/3 of a frame or the width of a button.

Welcome to the forum,

When you want to be pixel precise, make a backup of your showfile. Open the showfile with a text editor. It has an .XML-like structure. Now you can access your VC controls and depict the precise position and their dimensions.
Be aware that if your break the structure of the file, your showfile won't work anymore.
