Showing Dimensions

You can set options related to Dimensions in the Design tab.

This dialog lets you decide when dimensions should show, how to measure length and area, and more.

Showing Dimensions

You can choose to display the dimensions of your walls and objects: Never, Only When Selected, or Always.

Showing Dimensions for Connecting Line or Wall Segments

You have three different options when displaying the length of wall segments or multiple connected polygon lines.

Measure the Distance Between End Points

Instead of displaying the total length of all line segments, you can also measure and display the distance between end points.

Total Length of Line

Displaying the total length of the line will add the width of each line segment and display the total.

Display the Length of Each Segment

You can also choose to show the length of each segment individually instead of the total.

Display Options

This section lets you set preferences about other display options related to dimensions.

Showing Extension Lines

Extension lines show the length of wall segments offset from the wall itself so they're easier to read.

You can toggle displaying Extension Lines under the Display Options of the Dimensions dialog.

The Extension Lines will appear in blue extended away from the wall segment they show the length for.

Showing and Setting Angles Between Walls

To see the angles between walls in your drawing area select the Line Angles box under the Display Options of the Dimensions dialog.

To change any specific angle, click to select it and type in the new degree value. Any connected walls will adjust accordingly.

Set How Wall Distance is Measured

You can also change how wall distance is measured using the options under Measure Wall. You can choose to measure the distance from the Interior or Exterior.

Showing the Area of a Room or Shape

To see the area of a shape choose "Of the Shape" in the Show Area section.
