Dimensions
Add exterior dimensions to this plan
Places up to four exterior dimension strings per side — openings, massing, grids, and overall — around a plan, automatically detecting the building geometry, openings, and grids. You choose which sides and which string types to place.
Saves 45 min / plan
Try saying
- “add exterior dimensions to this plan”
- “dimension the outside of the building”
- “place opening and grid dimensions on all sides”
Frank reads plain language — these are starting points, not exact commands.
What Frank needs
- Run it from a floor plan view (not 3D, section, or elevation). If you run from a sheet, make sure you are inside the view
- Optional: which sides, which string types, and a named dimension type
Each run adds new strings, so running twice creates duplicates.
Watch Frank run this on your model.
