Writing, Dimensioning, and Lines on 3D View

[Anonymous]

I am trying to label and dimension a 3d view.
Can this be done from within ArchiCAD 9.0 or do I need to go to an outside program?
Thanks
dean.

you can export the line view as 2D lines and then open it as a new plan OR copy it into an empty section window.

There, you can dimension as you like.

Similar to Thomas' suggestion:

In the 3D window, hidden line mode, select the marquee tool, and then select the 'flat marquee' geometry (it defaults to a 3D volume). Drag the marquee around the portion of the drawing that you want, and do a Copy. Respond to the dialog with the entities/etc that you want.

Create a new independent detail window and paste there. Or paste wherever.

You will notice the common thread in all of these workarounds: the 3D view / isometric is not linked and you will have to repeat the steps if your model changes.

Linked, annotatable 3D views is a long-standing wish.
