westvale Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Hello friends, I'm totally stumped with temporary dimension settings. When I click on a wall, I want the temporary dimensions to show me the interior wall surface to wall surface dimension. How can I adjust my default settings to make this happen.

westvale Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 That's not what I'm trying to achieve. Maybe I didn't word it correctly, I want the interior room wall length/width when I click on the wall. Here's a screenshot where I've selected the wall and measuring from the inside of this room to the inside of the next room. I want just the width of this room when I select that wall which would also be the length of the back wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris, I just started using X17 and the temporary dimension defaults are now in each individual Dimension style. Which is fine. But there is no longer this dialog box. How did i get this to show up? My issue is when i select a group of windows i used to get an overall temporary dimension and it would help me center the group. now it will only favor one of the items in the group. Any ideas?

I've tried every combination of settings in X17 that I can think of. I still can't get temporary dimensions to work for rooms wall to wall. Some settings show interior wall surface but exterior surface on outside walls. Other settings show interior wall surface but the other side of the opposite wall adding the width of the wall.
