Hi Wes

Thanks for the tips. I am a little puzzled by the first of the 'Honourable Mention'.

I notice that when you change the dimensions that are on the Layer Plane the walls move, but what I don't get is that they are 3D objects, how can this be? When I tried it, I used a simple extrude and could not replicate the action. Does it just work with walls or is there some trickery going on that I have missed?

Many thanks

Hi Guy.

If you see the demo with attention, only walls were involved in this exercise. Walls have this peculiarity of being hybrid objects and that helps when you put them to interact with the now smarter dimensions

Ah...that explains it. Thank you Luis.

Those are great tips, and dare I say folks -- it gives you some tools that Revit users would kill for ;-)
