Dimension line spacing

This option defines the distance between the generated dimension lines.

This option is relevant in case two (or more) dimension lines are generated by the tool. For this, also see option Rebar group tolerance.

Dimension line spacing

Free space below text

Text offset dimline

Rebar group tolerance

Define whether double stirrup groups are combined into one dimension line.

If the distance between the stirrups (in the image below 12 mm) is greater than the entered value (=10 mm), two dimension lines are created:

Image

If the distance between the stirrups (in the image below 12 mm) is smaller than the entered value (=20 mm), two stirrup groups are combined into one dimension line:

Image

If the shape of the stirrups is the same, the marks are also combined. In the image below as “2x 6 Ø 8”.

Image

Part extrema

Define how to close dimension lines on the contour of the concrete part. The options are:

Examples

The dimension line is always positioned on the outermost lines of the concrete part:

Image

The dimension line is positioned to the nearest side/geometry point of the concrete part relative to the picked insertion point of the dimension line (plugin). See the examples below.
