Hello
I am a land surveyor. I have experience using AutoCad but mostly in 2D. I measured the inside of an apartment using a total station. The results are YXZ coordinates which I imported into AutoCad . I then connected the points to create a 3D drawing. The purpose of the survey is to design closets, cabinets etc. so that they will fit into existing spaces. Since this is a survey and not a design, the walls are not parallel, thicknesses vary etc. My problem is to dimension the drawing, say between the center of 2 walls. I Imagine that I have to create some sort plane surface from the measured points, but have had no success.
The drawing file is attached . The measured points are on layer 0 and currently turned off. I am using AutoCad 2007. Do I need a newer version to do what I want?
Thank you
John
Maybe MEASUREGEOM with newer versions.
You can try FIELD command and use Length to label the lines.
