ChrisO Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I'm trying to draw dimensions but just can't seem to figure out how to do it. The only dimension line that I can get to work is the end-to-end provided I draw it along the length of an object. Nothing else works. I've checked Preferences and I've enabled dimensions display. I'm watching videos and copying exactly what they show. Nothing... Home Designer Architectural 2021, On Mac OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you help us a bit, someone may be able to help you. Tell us what you are trying to dimension. Attach a simple plan for someone to work with.

ChrisO Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 It seems that it is the manual dimension and the interior dimension that I can't understand. My plan has a lot of these so I am focussed on them. A test plan is attached. Dimensions test.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution DavidJPotter Posted May 30, 2021 Solution Share Posted May 30, 2021 This software performs best when your structure is at right angles to the screen or at 7 degree increments. To create a structure at odd angles just makes the work ten times harder as the tools and objects you are using are not being used as they were programmed to be used. if a structure needs to be rotated relative to magnetic North you have a "North Pointer" tool for that purpose, you rotate the North Pointer and never the structure. When you use any software in ways it was not designed to function you just make it harder on YOU. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisO Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Thanks for trying that out. I thought I was going crazy, but now I see that the app is not designed to put dimensions on irregular shapes. Unfortunately, in my environment in rural Vietnam, there are no straight lines, no right angles, no dimensions without decimal places, nothing horizontal, nothing vertical. It's an irregular place. If I ever find any such items, I know they were created by accident and not by design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
