Defining the Dimension Settings for Wall Components
You have various options for dimensioning individual wall components. In the wall style, you can define the dimension
settings for each individual wall component. Each component can be dimensioned to one or both of its edges, as well
as to the component center. You also can select to not dimension a specific component at all.
■
Component side to dimension: In the wall style, you can define for each wall component whether it should be
dimensioned to its positive or negative side, or to the center of the component. The positive and negative sides of
a wall are determined by the direction in which the wall is drawn: if you draw a wall from left to right, the positive
side is the left (top). If you draw a wall from the right side to the left, then the positive side is the right (bottom).
If you determine that a wall component is only dimensioned to one side, you can select either the positive or
negative side of the wall
