Hi there,
Having an issue dimensioning slanted/out of plane angles for a 3D model shown in axonometric view that has been created as a 3D document for a shop drawing.
I can get the dimensions for the vertical heights (in red) but can't seem to get anything to work to dimension the width(pink) and depth(green) measurements. Settings for 3D documents set up as suggested from previous help forum query in https://help.graphisoft.com/AC/20/INT/AC20Help/04_Documentation/04_Documentation-46.htm#XREF_41660_D...

Hi there,
Just found the reason was the dimensions weren't picking up the nodes from the object, but if the dimensions were associated with a more basic element (wall/slab) or if the object was converted to a morph, then the dimensions would be picked up (see below). Not an ideal situation as I lose the data and ability to edit the objects however!
With the Dimension tool active, after you click to select all the points you want to dimension, double-click on an empty area to finish entering dimensioned points. Then, the input aid graphics will appear (a circle divided into segments) and move your cursor so the intended segment is highlighted (slightly bolder curve in the below screenshot) and then click once to place the Dimension Chain.
