Dimension line extension?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello Chief Users,

 

I haven't found a solution to this either here or searching the internet and am curious if any of you have bumped into this. I had an Architect friend of mine redline a set of our drawings for me, reviewing best practices and standards with how our drawings looked. One item that he commented on was not having a little tag end, or tail, to the dimension lines. He said that is a big deviation from standard. Two screenshots are below. One of how are dimension lines look with the "arrow" and one screenshot of his redline (poor quality, scan of a print). I can't find a setting to make his request happen. In looking at other plan sets from Revit users more carefully now, I see the extended dimension line more often than not. 

 

Thanks for the help!

Austin

not sure if Chief can natively do what you are wanting but you can build your on tick block with the extensions. Just draw what you want, make a block of it and add to your library. Then in dim defaults pick your new tick mark from the library. Doesn't take long. 1665176598_Screenshot2026-06-24at8_23_54AM.thumb.png.4c9c757e6e4791a53aaf0872fd78b79a.png
