HAUSrucker Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 hi - i?m new to vector and i?ve got a big problem with the dimensions. how can i dimension the height of a window and door like in the picture? thanks Quote Link to comment
panta rhei Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 1. You can't. The dimension line is not able to query the height of the window. 2. You can. Apply dual dimensioning (you'll need to define a dimensioning standard) and enter the height manually (& suppress the actual dimension value.) In case of chain dimension, ungroup the dimension line and apply DD to the relevant part. 3. I don't think you can. The half-centimeter notation is not, AFAIK, possible. Unless the good people at ComputerWorks have done something magical. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 3. you can't get a dimension to show the reduced size 5 for a half centimeter, but you can set it to use fractional centimeters as the unit as in 77 1/2. All of the text in a dimension uses the same font/size/style. Quote Link to comment
HAUSrucker Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 the "5" is not the problem - that is solved - but to query the height might be possible? i hope! i don?t wont to do it by hand!!! in archicad it works since i can think! Quote Link to comment
panta rhei Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 tbut to query the height might be possible? Sorry, no. Is that notation compulsory in Germany? (In many countries it is enough that the window shows its dimensions.) VW and ArchiCAD are different programs with different sets of functionality. There are plenty of things VW can do but ArchiCAD can't. Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Archicad doesn't quite do it the way HAUSrucker has shown. He seems to want it as part of the dimension string. The easiest way to do what he wants would be to add the height dimension manually. Quote Link to comment
HAUSrucker Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 yes - i enter now the height manually by a right click on the dimension - go to edit dimension and click to show elevation - type manually in the height. thats not very comfortable, but it works - thanks to all Quote Link to comment
hh_berlin Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 in the last time, even this isnt possible anymore - the checkbox "show elevation" is not clickable... : ( Quote Link to comment
andreikremnev Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Sorry, I really do not understand why VW does not want to implement this simple element that is required everywhere. My day, today looking for an answer how to do it. @VW please add this functionality!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
E|FA Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 You should be able to get the width and height annotation with a Data Tag, instead of a Dimension Quote Link to comment
