Place Dimensions

Create vertical distance, elevation, or horizontal dimensions in Section and Elevation windows with a fast click-to-place workflow.

Works with Archicad 25–29 • Windows and macOS • Section and Elevation windows

Three dimension modes

Create Vertical distance, Elevation, or Horizontal distance dimension lines depending on what you need.

Click-to-place workflow

Click to place the first dimension, then keep clicking to place the next ones—press Esc to finish.

Associative dimensions update

In most cases, dimensions stay associative to the measured elements, so when elements move, the dimensions update automatically—no re-dimensioning needed.

Core workflow

  • Start Dimensioning.
  • Select the element type to dimension.
  • Click OK.
