Re: Dimensions and walls layer
yes, since making my last post, I have learned how to utilize overlapping levels as layers. I find that helpful for furniture and even for remodeling plans to move walls. However, I would still prefer a global setting for dimensions to turn them ALL on/off at the same time. 1 click to show/hide every dimension on every visible layer. That way I have less clutter in the level's list, and I don't have to worry about remembering to put the dimension on the dimension level. It would also be nice to change color of dimensions.


I've also found a good trick to quickly measure and position a wall that I would like to share. When I hover the dimension tool over a wall between 2 other walls, it will show the dimension without even having to click. Using this, I have another trick. I can first select a wall, and then the dimension tool, hover over the gap I'm concerned about, and then use the arrow keys on keyboard to move that wall while monitoring it's gap distance from the other wall with the dimension tool. very nice.
