- Position the points that define the dimension chain.
- Choose the lowest and highest storeys on which it should appear.
- Set witness lines, markers and text for the repeated representation.
Dimension pointsUse the hotspots to define the chain.
Move the object’s dimension points to the required positions. The points are ordered along the dimension axis, and coincident points are removed from the chain.
These are positions within the object. They do not automatically associate with the walls or other elements on each storey, so moving those elements does not by itself redefine the dimension points.
Storey range and graphicsShow the same chain throughout the selected range.
Set the lowest and highest storeys; both ends of the range are included. Archicad’s Show on Stories setting must also allow the object to appear on those storeys.
The line, marker, witness-line and text settings control the repeated chain. This is one object shown on several storeys, rather than a separate dimension object on each one.
