# Walls Dimensioning

### **Wall Dimensioning Configuration**

Before you start working with a dimensioning tool there should be a configuration created. Your changes can be saved to current configurations, saved as a set of new configurations, renamed or deleted.

### Dimension parameters:

* **Measuring Height** – the height from the level. Elements that are located at this height will be included in the dimension line.
* **Parallel Wall Selecting Area** – the distance from the wall surface where other walls will be involved for the dimensioning.

* **Perpendicular Walls Selecting Area** – the distance from the selected wall ends where other perpendicular walls will be involved in the dimensioning.
* Dimensions can be placed on user-picked points or by predefined distance from the nearest wall:

User can also filter the walls by:

* **Orientation**

Also, you can choose to Measure Opening by:

* **Center**

* **Sides**

### Dimension Chains

For the configuration, you can choose to create up to 5 different dimension chains with one click. There are different references to choose for each chain.

**Intersecting Walls** *–* can add dimension even if the user clicks on the other side of the selected wall.

**Join Dimensions into Chain** – if the checkbox is ticked, then the dimension chain will be created as one annotation element. If the checkbox is unticked, then all dimensions between references will be created as separate annotation elements.

### **Auto Select Walls using Configuration Parameters**

This feature selects all Walls category elements defined by Wall Configuration parameters.

**Example:** This Wall Configuration will select the walls accordingly:

### **Preselected Wall Dimensioning**

This feature creates dimensions by predefined configuration **Walls Dimensioning Configuration** for selected walls.

**Example:**

1. Select walls to be dimensioned.
2. Indicate the point where dimensions will be placed, depending on the configuration parameters.
