drawing walls with a ruler

[Anonymous]

Hi, i´m new to archicad. I used to use other design programme where the measurements of walls were displayed while drawing the wall. There was another option where it would display the interior measurements. But i´ve tried with archicad and the only thing i found is the acotation option. Is there another way of seeing the measurements while drawing? thanks

Hi Maria

Welcome to Archicad and the forum.

The tool you want is called "tracker". Look for an icon like in the image below, or turn it on in the Options/Work environment/Tracker and Co-ordinate input menu (click on "show tracker" check box).

Check Archicad Help for more info, do a search for "tracker"

Hope this helps.

hi S2art,
I am curious on how to make a JEPG file including the "red arrow" you'v drawn, as well as all the tool bars to be appeared on the JEPG file.
sorry about that I shouldn't be in here to ask about this.

Try a search here on the forum with "screen shot" as keyword. Many options depending on your OS and photo editting software.

Or follow Link's tip HERE to do it all in Archicad.

...or ask me at afternoon tea time...
