Modify Multiple Dimension Witness Lines

Hello RAFs,

 

I made multiple dimension strings that reference from stud to stud, but I'd like to change all these dimensions to reference face of gwb to face of gwb. Is there a way to make this change to multiple strings at once? I'm under a tight deadline so I'm curious how to save time instead of going through each string individually and edit their witness lines. Thanks!

I wish.  No "Easy Button" for this.  

 

BTW: Face of GWB - not Face of Stud?   That's how we have always pulled dimensions.   From Face of Stud/Chalk Line.

Ah bummer, thanks for letting me know. I think it'll be faster to just re-draw the dims then.

Yeah I've always done it from stud to stud/party line/exterior wall ply face but the change was requested so I'm doing it.

There's no bulk witness-line edit, so for existing strings you're stuck editing them one by one — but if you're re-doing them anyway, redrawing is faster than it sounds.

 

We actually built a plugin for exactly this: One Click Line Dimensions places a whole chain from a single line drawn across the elements, with the reference rule set once in settings instead of per pick. Re-dimensioning a wall becomes a couple of seconds.

 

I'm the developer — you can try it for free at archplug.com.
