- Pick two different slabs and an edge on which to place the symbol.
- Adjust the symbol’s arms, step, fill and measurement text.
- Refresh the linked readings or relink the symbol to replacement slabs.
Slab selection and placementThe pick order determines the two sides of the symbol.
Use Place Setdown to select the first slab, a different second slab, and then an edge for placement. The first slab supplies the local left arm and the second supplies the right arm.
Use Flip to reverse the graphic direction. This changes the symbol’s orientation without changing the difference measured between the slabs.
Geometry, graphics and textSet the drawn step independently of the measured value.
Adjust the arms, step, fill and measurement formatting. With automatic height, the drawn step represents the model level difference at the drawing scale. A fixed height changes the graphic step only; it does not change the measured difference.
Use the text hotspots to adjust the annotation position without moving the slab references.
Refresh and relinkSaved readings need the matching add-on to update.
Use Refresh Setdowns to update the saved readings. Relink Selected Setdown lets you choose replacement slabs while retaining the symbol’s position and formatting. A symbol placed directly with the Object tool starts without slab links.
If a source is missing or cannot be read, the symbol retains its saved reading with a question-mark prefix. Without the add-on, saved readings remain visible but cannot update.
The measurement uses the slabs’ nominal top levels. It does not measure local Solid Element Operation cuts or separate finish elements.
