Creating Automatic Exterior Dimensions

The Apply Auto Exterior Dimensions tool automatically dimensions the exterior walls of your home. By default, three dimension strings are created: one for openings, one for wall segments, and an overall dimension for each side of the model.

Note: You can control which dimension strings are created, as well as how walls and wall elements are dimensioned. You must specify these settings before the dimensions are created. See Specifying Exterior Dimension Settings.

To create automatic exterior dimensions:

1. Select Tools > Dimensions > Apply Auto Exterior Dimensions, or click the Apply Auto Exterior Dimensions button on the Notation toolbar.
