Auto dimensioning: per-view behavior and the visible render layer error
Learn how auto dimensioning behaves in elevation and floor plan views, how to add and remove it, and how to fix the visible render layer error.
Dimensions can be added one by one with the dimension tool (Annotate > Align Dimension: click the edges to measure, then click where the dimension goes; the Architecture tab also has Draw Dimensions), or automatically: the Align Dimension tool's panel offers Add Auto Dimensioning, which places them for you, and, once auto dimensions exist, Remove Auto Dimensioning.
