Is there a way to auto dimension in ArchiCAD 12?

[Anonymous]

New user here.
I am making a house plan.
Need to align and add dimension lines on the top view.
Wanting to see how its done.

Any textbooks out there?
Free tutorials?

Would really love a actual set of blueprints of a typical house in ArchiCAD 12. I am in Missouri.

Thanks...

Hi Terry,

Going through the training materials that Thomas links to before starting a project is wise. And, do not forget that you have online, searchable help at your fingertips. The exact words of your subject provide what you want - see attached.

Cheers,
Karl

And also please note that some forum members are less dismissive of high school students than others.

Karl gives an excellent example of leading a high school horse to water.

Or, getting off his high (school) horse... 😉

You might not want to openly give your email address because some program may get it from this page and you will find your email address added to some spam list and being bombarded with spam.
I suggest you edit your post and delete your email address from it.

Or you know what?
I deleted it for you so now nobody reading this post will understand what I am talking about.
But I will put it back, if you insist.

I thought it might make it easier for someone to email me.
I have been using this email address for a couple years now.
Don't think I can get anymore SPAM than I get now.

I know what you mean.
I used to have lots of spam, about 60-80 per day.
I started using a web based service called SPAM ARREST at spamarrest.com.
I have been using it for almost 2 years now.
I get practically no spam since because of the method they are using.
Also, interestingly, the amount of spam coming to my email address has been reduced dramatically, to about 4-5 per day (of course, all caugh by the system).
So I can recommend it.
It is not free but it works.
