Inside Diameter of Structures

Does anyone know how to show the inside diameter of structure in plan and profile view. Do I have to make sump and wall thicknesses 0 to do so?

Two options as I see it, you can use a block to dsiplay the structure in both plan and profile or you could edit the part and add a wall thickness and floor thickness of almost 0 (I don't recommend using 0 very often as I've seen it cause issues with that ol' /0 thing so instead I use something like 0.001).

This worked great! Also, I set the wall thickness to 0.001, which is greater than 0 and will prevent other CAD users from seeing the size adjustment if their accuracy is set to (2 places) 0.00 which is our office standard. This way, if someone grabs a distance across the structure, they will not be aware of the adjustment to 4.001' they will just see 4.00'

Exactly. This is why I use 0.001' instead of 0 a lot. I've noticed this is particularly important when using subassemblies as using 0 will often cause the subassembly to "implode" on you.
