When walls are meeting, how can I record/show an angle as a diminsion

Post by johncros »

First, let me say that I think this product is GREAT and generally very easy to use. I am having a problem with one thing though. When I have walls or other components that do not meet at right angles, I cannot find any way to display the suitable angle on the floor plan. I have not been able to find any mention of angular dimension arcs or anything like it in the help. When I draw the adjoining wall, SD3D does a very good job of showing me the vector angle but I cannot get the angle measurement notation to persist. Is there something that I doing wrong or that I missed?
Thanks
John

Angle dimensions don't exist in the current version. The angles are shown only while drawing between walls bounded to each other.

There´s a reason for this problem.

double click at the wall you ´ll cange the angle.

then you must change the start or endpiont x and y koordinates.

if you need an specified angle like 10° you ´ve to calculate it manually.

Math is your friend.
