Adding dimensions—make sure to scale vports
- [Instructor] We're staying in our annotatingyourunitdesgin.dwg file and what we're gong to do now is add some annotative dimensioning to our plan view which is the top view in the 3D model using the 2D wire frame visual style, the same as the last video. Now you'll remember in the last video, we did place some text labels, the window label and the door label. What I'd like you to do is click on each of those, click on the grid and bring it inside your little prefabricated unit like that. The reason being is the dimensions would normally go around the outside of your prefabricated unit and you don't want the text interfering with, for example, things like the door and window text, it just looks messy. So I just double-click there to zoom extents and I come out a notch and you can see that you got window and door there. Again, don't worry about perfect positioning right now, that can be tweaked later before you issue…
