Space and Reach
5e
I noticed with a few Huge creatures that I pulled into the CT that the Reach in the Space and Reach section reads 5. Should this be importing a 10? The creatures I tested this with do have a 10' reach.
I actually like that shadow box around the token to let me know the reach of the creature without having to find it in the NPC sheet or the drop-down on the CT for that creature.

It depends on the game system that you’re talking about. For 5E, the default reach is 5 feet for all creature sizes. Any additional reach is per attack.
Do you have a specific creature you were looking at?

Hydra, Aboleth, Hill Giant, etc.
In the CT I assume "reach" means Reach on the NPC sheet and does not consider Ranged attacks. The Hill Giant may be able to throw a rock, but that is not his "reach."

From 5E rules, the default reach is always 5 ft., unless a specific attack allows greater reach. However, there is nothing in the ruleset currently that attempts to try to calculate what the "reach" of each action might be, nor calculate greatest reach of all actions.
