Hello everyone, in this video, I will show you how to dimension in 3D View
Here I am turning on the display of the work plane so it's a bit easier to understand.
As you can see, the current work plan is Ground Level.
So when I dimension the wall, the dimension will stay on the Ground Level.
If I dimension the upper floor walls, the dimension will still on the Ground Floor.
What I need to do is to set the work plane to Level 1.
Now the dimension goes to the Upper Floor Level.
Here is another dimension for upper floor wall.
You can always use "HH" to Temporary Hide selected element, then ur "HR" to bring it back.
Now let's dimension the floors and ceilings.
Set the work plane to the wall, which is perpendicular to the floors and ceilings.
Then you can dimension them.
If you want to change the location of the dimensions, just change the work plane/.
Now I'm going to dimension the roof.
The dimension is showing on the Ground level, which is not ideal.
You can either create a level at the roof level, or just draw a reference plane, and give it a name.
Back to your 3D View, set work plane and pick the reference plance by name.
Now the dimension shows next to your roof.
This reminds me of the dimension tool in Sketchup :)
Thanks for watching.
