winterdd Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I am wanting to change my interior dimensions when I drag them across the interior walls. Can we set it up to hit the edge of the exterior walls and center of interior walls? I have always just used the OOB defaults on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Double click the Interior Dimension tool to open the active dimension defaults. Select 'Locate Interior'. You'll see that Wal Options has different settings available than Locate Manual or Locate End to End. If I were you, I'd use the Locate Manual or Locate End to End tool instead and customize it's Locate Objects properties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Rob, will give it a go. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Quick example Rob, I don't really need to dimensions most of these items in a floor plan, certainly not very often. So when I drag a dimension it picks up what I want it to. I can still manually drag an extension to a cabinet if I have the need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 And obviously I'd have a different set of dimensions for cabinet plans / elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i have been manually dragging dim lines here and there but want to use CA's speed of things to the fullest. It gets confusing in the settings when you do wall elevations, as an example, and it wanting to dimension things like the molding on top of cabinets which I hate so I very rarely mess with dim settings.
