HOUCAD Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I have been trying to dimension a 3D object in an isometric view without success. It is a column detail with the view set to right front. I have tried setting my working plane but the dims only go in plan view. I wound up drawing the dims manually to get it to look the way I want. Is there a way to add dimensions and text on a 3D plane? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 VW does not currently support 3D dimensioning. There is an add-on at Vectordepot.com that fakes it. http://www.vectordepot.com/plug-ins/ There is also a tutorial on 3D dimensioning there as well. http://www.vectordepot.com/downloads/3d_dims.pdf This is a definite item on the wish list for many of us.

HOUCAD Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Thanks Pat, I was trying to figure out how to set an isometric view in a viewport but I was forgetting about the project 2D objects thing. That tutorial helped a lot. It would be nice to be able to draw anything on any plane. The way 2D and 3D are separate in VW is kind of confusing. It's nice to know that there are ways to fake it.
