Refining a layout with temporary dimensions
- [Instructor] Often the quickest way to get started with the layout of elements in your project is just to sort of place them in approximate locations first and then come back and modify their positions. I like to call this 'sketch then modify'. So with the grid lines that we have here in this project, I just sort of sketched them in in approximate locations relative to the surrounding building geometry. And now what I'd like to do is move those grid lines more precisely and designate exactly how far they are away from the surrounding walls and or each other. Now we can do that in a couple ways, but in this video, we're going to focus on the concept of temporary dimensions. Now what a temporary dimension is is simply a dimension that appears temporarily onscreen while something is selected. So if I select grid line A, notice that in addition to the other grips and controls that appear at the ends, we get this dimension string right here with a dimension on the left and another one on…
