madcowscarnival Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 A city is requesting a separate dimensioned roof plan. Is there a way to direct the auto dimension tool to snap to the fascia on the roof framing plan? It seems like I can use the Roof Dimension Defaults to place those dimensions on a separate layer. I attempted to create Auto Dimensions with the default settings to "surface" but that doesn't do what I intended. Manually snapping them works great, but there are enough to make it onerous. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNestor Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Manual only. You could use auto dimension and then edit...but that is probably as much work as just putting the dimensions where you want them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hopefully someone will prove me wrong but I don't think it can be done Auto , and AFAIK Chief Dims will snap to the Subfascia (framing) not the outside of the True Fascia. ie they will snap to the back of the (true) Fascia board. Fascias are not depicted in Framing Plans but I guess you could turn off the Eave and Gable Fascia and just have sub-fascias on to get the right snaps.

madcowscarnival Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Well, thanks folks, that's unfortunate. Though I thought that may be the case. I've never had to produce a roof plan dimensioned in this manner. The City must be having some issues with site plans and setbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
