Dimension elevation in schedules

Hello,

I'm making a joinery list for a project. With Archicad's automatic tool I can display the ‘3D Back view’ of my elements. I see that it is possible to dimension them manually one by one but I would like to know if it is possible to do this automatically (I have nearly 50 different elements to dimension).

Thank you for the help.

Select an image and turn on the 'Add Automatic Dimensions' option.

It only gives overall dimensions.

If you want more you still have to add them manually.

Hi Barry--

 

Is there a reason why some of the items in my schedule are not being automatically dimensioned? Please see screenshot. Seems totally arbitrary.

I have no idea sorry.

Try turning the dimensioning off and then on again.

Or maybe select the preview and open the 'annotation' and then OK.

I had the same issue and I did them manually... 

I tried both those things...no effect. Will have to manually dimension. Thanks for your thoughts Barry.
