We use Dimensions with a box around the text to call out shearwalls. It would be nice if there was a "Boxed" checkbox in the Dimension type properties (with a size that's either user-definable, or related to the Text Offset so that the bottom of the box is coincident with the dimension line).
There are, of course, many workarounds - including (but not limited to):
- draw lines (our initial workaround)
- requires manual positioning (and re-positioning) of the lines - don't move/delete with dimensions
- a line-based detail component which replaces the entire dimension (shown below)
- selection area is larger than expected (includes the white space), though editing the text is easier than with dimensions; doesn't get deleted when something else is deleted
- an add-in that draws the box based on the value of a shared parameter in the dimension type, and updates it when the dimension changes
- essentially the same thing as this idea
