Gawdzira Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I thought that in previous versions when I had a distinct dimension placed (as an example, for an interior of a room) then I would not get a temporary dimension. Currently in X13, I am getting the temporary dimension when I select a wall to move with dimensions. Have I overlooked a setting that changed?

DzinEye Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I don't think it's a new setting, I believe they finally responded to many requests to allow the temporary dimensions to show even when dimensions are in place. I'm thrilled to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have +1 people for the request over the years but I don't believe I've made the suggestion myself. So frustrating to me to not get temp dimension for a place that doesn't have a dimension, but because there is a dimension adjacent it doesn't pop up.

Gawdzira Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Can I get a toggle (and an amen)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help but wonder though why you're finding it to be a negative? I haven't used X13 extensively yet, so perhaps I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 My problem is displayed in my image. I made an intentional interior dimension to surfaces to resize the room. When I click on the wall I get 2 dimensions strings to choose from and now I have to pay attention to choose the correct one. That is a heavy responsibility.

DzinEye Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hmm... I'm certainly not going to discount your concern nor your wish for a toggle. Chief... throw in a toggle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Also guilty .........This is one of X13 new changes after many of us asked for it to remain active, you may need to make sure your Temp. dims sync with your selected Dim Defaults eg Surfaces vs Wall Dimension Layer https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02963/features-introduced-in-each-version-of-chief-architect.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Yep, I was one that found it annoying that I couldn't place a temp dim. when a dim was already in the area Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoeGia Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Amen Alan, this is a real PITA for as-builts. With as-builts I'm often going back and forth between SPVs so not having the temporary defaults change with my SPV, is frustrating. We now need multiple temporary dimension defaults to match our dimension defaults, or must adjust them each time we change Saved Plan Views, or toggle them off. I never understood why temporary dimensions weren't controlled in dimension defaults. Now with always-on temporary dimensions and SPVs, it makes sense to control temporary dimensions with our dimension defaults and have them automatically change with our SPVs.
