Setting up angle dimensions
- [Instructor] In the last video we set up some linear dimensions to mark at the length of each of the longest edges of our trapezoidal shelf panels. And in this video I'd like to work on adding some angle dimensions to the corners of those trapezoidal panels. So let's bring up an angle dimension component and we can get that from the display menu, dimensions sub-menu, then angular dimension is what we're looking for. So this is going to take a center point of the angle a point A, so that's the first point of the angle direction and a point B, and that's the second point of the angle direction. So each angle is going to take three points. We have an option for a reflex. So that's basically which side of the angle we should be measuring. A text format for the angle, and then a size factor. But let's think through what we're actually trying to measure here. And in Rhino I can zoom in to one of these corners. So we can think of each of these trapezoidal panel profiles as individual…
