node selection of dimension

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:25:14 GMT

Hello,
I want to mark dimension from the corner of a beam, but cannot select the corner point of the beam (always force to mark on a location below)
Any solution? Thanks

I have no problem selecting the corner of a beam in plan or section.
Doesn't matter if it is a regular beam or a complex profile.

Does you cursor not turn into a tick or solid pen when you go to the corner?
Is your model close to the Project Origin or are you a long way from it? (just curious).

@Barry
at one beam above it is normal just as in your post,
but the below one no response

I can't think why you can snap to the corner of one beam but not another.

Is you Snap on by any chance, and set to "Snap to Snap Grid"?
In that case the cursor will always snap to points on the Snap Grid and not to element nodes.
