Dimensioning for overviews

For the main orientation a distinction is drawn between Elevation view and Plan view (these are all views along the global z-direction), so that you can make an advantageous pre-selection.

Elevation dimensions

SettingDescription
Profile automatically

The profiles available are dimensioned, even if these belong to (sub-) groups. The dimensioning point depends upon the type of profile in question. Horizontally and vertically from the beginning to the end of the view.

Assemblies

Only the available assemblies alike a single part (outer edges) are dimensioned. Horizontally and vertically from the beginning to the end of the view.

Grid axis offset The distance to the center axis of a profile to the nearest grid axis is dimensioned.
Reference axis The insertion axis of the profile (or the subsequently added changeable reference axis).

Section dimensions

As the same terms are used here as with the elevation dimensions, you can find their meaning there.

Additional dimensions

SettingDescription
Axes The dimensions taken is the gap between the grid axes (these are formed from the various work area frames). However, in the main “Elevation view“ alignment, these are merely the vertical axes, which are dimensioned horizontally from the start of the view to the end of the view.
Levels The dimensions taken is the gap between the elevation levels that are formed from the grid.

Overall dimension

The dimensions are self-explanatory.
