Rebar dimension point per side

Rebar dimension point per side

When creating custom shape rebar the ability do pick where the dimension measures from. If I had a rebar shaped like this __/`````````````` I need to be able to specify on a given side where the dimension point is measured from. Just looking at the offset difference there are 9 options (some will gave same value like Out to In = Centre to Centre...) as seen in below sketch.

Currently when creating rebar sometimes the measured dimension is different to to the required dimension

As in the below sketch I need to show the length as 200mm but the family editor will only allow me to go to the center. I need to be able to override this  and be able to specify that it is to the outside in this case.

Another example would be a U shaped rebar that measures from outside to outside, and in this regard maybe I want to measure the U rebar with another method listed below:

(1) Centre to Centre

(2) Centre to Out

(3) Centre to In

(4) In to In

This needs to work on all 3 dimension axis XY XZ YZ
