One clean exterior dimension layout from existing geometry
Contrast string-by-string manual dimension drafting with a single run that places the requested exterior dimension categories around the plan.
Manual workflow
Powertools workflow
The dimensioning rule depends on the modeler and can vary from person to person.
Powertools uses a dimensioning rule set that can be reused across plans.
Manual dimensioning is very slow, requires attention, and is prone to errors.
The error risk is very low, and the tool produces the same consistent results.
Dimensioning the floor plans of a medium-scale building can take days.
With Powertools, the same dimensioning work can be completed in minutes.
