JamesSteven 0 Posted February 16 I am trying to generate a north,south, east, west elevations that include measurement (e.g ground to peak). I have been able to generate a perspective view but the measurement functions are disabled (grayed out). I have looked in the user manual and could not find any how to information, Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solver 628 Posted February 16 Answers often depend on which title (Suite, Pro etc) and version (2018, 2019 etc) you are using. You can help everyone by adding that info to your signature (see below for how to turn them on) by clicking on your user name at the top right of the page, click Account Settings, then Signature on the left. Doing so makes it always available, and keeps others from having to hunt for it. And, turn on signature display too. ---- Resources for self help: The built in Help System (always a good place to start) Getting Started Knowledge Base YouTube Home Designer - Getting Started - Setting Preferences and Defaults Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/s-TcAHsiMjg?hd=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solver 628 Posted February 16 A perspective view is not an elevation. Search Help for elevation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesSteven 0 Posted February 16 Thanks for the quick response. I am using PRO 2021 and I will add that info to my profile settings. I miss-stated - it was not Perspective View it was the Orthographic view that I used to generate the Elevation. This is where I am stuck. How can the exterior dimensions get displayed on an elevation? I can manually place measurements but do not want to calculate the ground to ridge line distance. I am thinking that information should be brought over from the wall height and pitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamesSteven 0 Posted February 16 Thanks Eric. Your responses haven’t been helpful. So are you willing to help with my question? Ask is pretty straight forward.. how to get dimensions on an elevation view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricatic 5 Posted February 16 Open a cross section/elevation camera view...voila...an elevation appears that can be dimensioned...easily found by searching Help for "elevation"...as suggested by Eric... Regards Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesSteven 0 Posted February 16 Thanks Rick. I have gone through those steps and can get the “elevation”. Is there a way to automatically load the dimensions from wall, window, and roof pitch specifications or do I have to manually place those dimensions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
