3D details for con docs: do in plan or create a separate plan in same project

[GeneDavis]

I'd like to be able within Chief to create simple 3D assemblies with 3D dimensions, to use in con docs to clarify elements of framing, trim, and cabinetry.  I did a test assembly of 3D solids and cannot find how to actually dimension things with any input control.  The pic shows how I like to see these, but the dimensions come automatically when I select something.  Is there a way to dimension manually and have them show in 3D?  I'd like a recommendation for how to do this within Chief project management.  Ideally, we could build details in the CAD detail space that are 3D and do this, but I did this in a plan file I added to a project called Projectname Details.

Unless the items are very project specific and are unlikely to have future use, I recommend creating them in their own plan file and folder, just like you would with 2D details.

Yes.  See if this video helps:
