Dimensioning to Core in Compound Structures

When constructing a compound wall with inserts, builders often want to know the dimensions of unfinished structural openings for the inserts. You can dimension a structural opening by choosing references on the outer boundary of the core layer in the wall. The structural layer is typically within the core boundary of a wall.

Inserts can be perpendicular or non-perpendicular to the core boundary.

Note: If you want to dimension to the structural layer of a wall at an insert, be sure that the cut plane offset of the view is set at or lower than the cut plane offset of the insert family.
