JamesSteven Posted February 16 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted February 16 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 A perspective view is not an elevation. Search Help for elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesSteven Posted February 16 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 An orthographic view is also not an elevation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesSteven Posted February 16 Author Share 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricatic Posted February 16 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesSteven Posted February 16 Author Share 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alydrummond Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I too have been looking for a way to generate elevations that include dimensions. It's a simple question which should have a clear response. @solver, your responses come across as monumentally arrogant and generally unhelpful. I hope you're okay. Good luck with whatever caused that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
