Resizing Elements with Formulas

For information about using formulas with family parameters, see The Families Guide.

To modify a dimension for an existing element

  1. Select the element.

    Vasari displays a temporary dimension. (If the dimension uses the wrong reference points, drag the blue squares (of the witness lines) to the desired reference points.)

  2. Click the dimension.

    You may need to zoom in to see the dimension clearly. Vasari displays its value in a text box.

  3. Edit the value, entering the desired formula.
Tip: In formulas, keep units consistent. Do not mix units. You can use constants with no units assigned to them.
