Offset
|
The distance away from object at which the
dimensions are placed.
|
Parallel Plane
|
Check this option if you only want to see
dimensions for objects surfaces parallel to the cutting plane. Any projected
dimensions for sloped elements will be skipped.
|
Associated Points
|
Check this option if you want the dimensions
in 2D drawings to update to changes in the 3D model.
An
"association point" in a dimension element
is one that is associated with a point in the dimensioned element(s).
Association points are most useful for points that are
"connected" to the element being
dimensioned, such as dimension endpoints.
|
Style
|
Select one of the following:
- All
Sides - Dimensions are done on all sides of all objects
- Ignore
Duplicate - Select this style if to ignore all duplicate
dimensions. For example if the top and bottom width of the column are the same,
they will not be dimensioned.
- Align By Side -
The dimensions are aligned on the selected sides.
|
Unique By Type
|
This option is only available if
Ignore Duplicate is selected. If it is
selected, automatic dimensioning is done for all elements individually. For
example, if a pier cap shares the same width as a column width in the side
view, both widths will be dimensioned.
|

|
Hidden Projections
