You can add two types of dimension lines to industry model features:
- Aligned Dimensioning—Labels distances with or without abscissa and subsidiary lines.
- Orthogonal Dimensioning—Labels distances using orthogonal dimension lines.
Aligned Dimensioning
There are three styles of aligned dimensions:
- Aligned Complete—Draws the dimension label , abscissa, and subsidiary lines.
- Aligned Abscissa Only—Draws the abscissa but not the subsidiary lines.
- Aligned Text Only—Draws only the dimensioning label without abscissa or subsidiary lines.
Orthogonal Dimensioning
With orthogonal dimensions, if an offset (ordinate) point lies beyond the abscissa start or end point, you can extend the abscissa line. If a line feature lies on the abscissa of the orthogonal dimension, the intersection point can be embedded like any other orthogonal point.
You can add orthogonal dimensioning in extension of a baseline. For example, using the edge of a building.
Note: Your administrator must enable the dimensioning extension for the
industry model
in Industry Model Options in Infrastructure Administrator.
