These include the configuration settings. I usually uncheck automatic and this reveals the X, Y and Z fields. Because this dimension is on the Y axis we can click into the X and zero it out. Tab into the Y and input 1. That way when we adjusting the distance setting moves the dimension and keeps it centre on the y axis. Increase the Y value and offset the dimension from the dimension line. On the add-on you can also change how the units are displayed.
Click the drop down and choose one from here. I can select millimetre. Also adjust the precision to suit. In this case zero will work fine. The next tool on the add-on are X, Y, Y. This will give you the dimension from one vertex to the objects origin.
The origin of this object is at 0,0,0. Select a vertex on this outline. Now click the X. This will create a dimension from that vertex to the origin along the X axis. Use Y and Z for those distances also.
Name the dimension in the name field. Expand the settings and make the necessary adjustments. I can un-check automatic position and zero out X and input 1 for the Y. Now use the distance value to update the offset. The next tool is the angle tool and requires three selected vertices. The second is the angle vertex of the selection. So for example I can select three vertices around this 90 degree corner here.
Now on the add-on click angle. Lets name this dimension. Expand the settings and adjust the position of the text. For the Arc tool lets tab back to object mode and select the door outlines.
Now tab back to edit mode. Similar to the angle dimension the arc dimension also needs three vertices. We can select a start a center and an end point.
Now click arc. The settings for this dimension are similar to the previous ones with some additional options to display the radius length an angle. This will get updated on the dimension. Offset this on the Y axis now and move it up. The next tool on the add-on is the label. Select one vertex to be able to add one. Click label to add one into the scene.
In the name field input text. I can input doorway and press enter. Expand the settings to make adjustments. First I can un-check automatic position. I usually input 1 for the X, Y and Z values. This allows you position the label more easily with the distance value and the X, Y positions.
The rest of the settings are what we have seen before. The next tool is the annotation tool. Tab back to object mode for this tool to become available. Click the annotation button and this will get added at the position of the 3D cursor. This is just an origin point but in the Outliner it is listed here. Press F2 and rename it. I can call this Kitchen and press enter. If you press G in the scene you can move it but best leave it where you add it and use the settings to position it.
I can right click to cancel move. On the add-on I can click into the text field and input kitchen and press enter. Now expand the settings. Here you have the basic settings to position on the X and Y axis.
Change the font size or change the alignment setting. The link option tool lets you get the distance between two different objects. Lets get the distance between the hand rail and the end of the stairs. We could just get the length of the hand rail but lets use the link tool as an example.
First select the hand rail and tab into edit mode. Select this end vertex here. Tab back to object mode now. He is technology enthusiast and an English teacher. The wikiHow Tech Team also followed the article's instructions and verified that they work.
