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.

​

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.
​

(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.
