The following wall dimension points can be specified in the AEC dimension style:
| Selection | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | Dimensions the two outer points of all dimensioned walls. |
 |
| Length of Wall: Outer Boundaries | Dimensions the outer boundaries of every selected wall. When wall boundaries overlap, only those facing the dimension direction are dimensioned. |
 |
| Length of Wall: Wall Length | Dimensions the length of each wall in the selection set. |
 |
| Wall Width: Overall | Dimensions the overall width of a wall. |
 |
| Wall Width: All Components | Dimensions the width of each component in a wall. |
 |
| Wall Width: Center | Dimensions the center line of a single-component or multi-component wall |
 |
| Wall Width: From Style | Dimensions the wall components according to the settings in the wall style. |
 |
| Wall Width: Structural from Style | Dimensions the structural wall components according to the settings in the wall style. |
 |
| Wall Intersections | Dimensions the intersection points of walls that are connected to the selected walls. |

Dimension Points for Wall Components
The dimensioning of wall components can be specified in 2 different locations: in the wall style and in the AEC dimension style.
In the wall style, you can set following information that is relevant to the dimension:
- Component side to dimension: In the wall style, you can define for each wall component whether it should be dimensioned to its positive or negative side, or to the center of the component. The positive and negative sides of a wall are determined by the direction in which the wall is drawn: if you draw a wall from left to right, the positive side is the left (top). If you draw a wall from the right side to the left, then the positive side is the right (bottom). If you determine that a wall component is only dimensioned to one side, you can select either the positive or negative side of the wall.
- Structural function: You can define a wall component as structural or non-structural. When you set up the AEC dimension style you can define that only structural wall components, or all wall components should be dimensioned.
In the AEC dimension style you can define the following additional or overriding settings for dimensioning wall components:
- By Style: the dimension points selected in the wall style are used to dimension the wall components width.
- Structural by Style: the dimension points specified for the structural components of the wall style are used.
- All Components: each component of the wall is dimensioned.
- Overall: the overall width of the wall is dimensioned.
- Center: the center of the wall is dimensioned.
