📏 Roof Line Lengths
This command annotates the dimension of each roof line (except for aprons).
The dimension is rounded to the nearest mm (or ¼ inch) and truncated.
The colour of the dimension text may be set to be the same as the line associated with it.
This aids in reading the dimensions.
This is set under the Dimension Defaults.
They can also be set to be a distance away from the associated line to aid in the reading.
🔁 Toggle behaviour + minimum length setting
This button is a ‘toggle’ button – select it once to insert dimensions, select again to delete them.
You can also set the length below which, no dimension is inserted – you do this under
Set-Up > Preference Settings > Dimension Defaults. It helps to ‘de-clutter’ the model.
↔️ Reposition Dimension
(Pulldown Menu – Tools > Dimension Roof > Reposition Dimension)
This command lets you move the dimension text so it does not over-write another part of the drawing.
