Dimensioning

Dimensions can be placed in the Floor Plan, the Section/Elevation/IE, the 3D Document, and the Detail and Worksheet windows.

Many dimensions are associative, which means that dimension values will be updated automatically if the element they are associated to is modified.

Note: “Static” Dimensions are not associative.

See Static Dimensions.

The 3D Document window has some unique dimensioning options.

See Linear Dimensions in the 3D Document Window.

The following dimensioning tools are available:

Linear Dimensions display element lengths, both curved and straight.
