Could you help me?

Hi @sonia.martinez, 

Welcome to the community! 

Is your Dimension Annotations switched on/"Checked" in your Visibility/Graphic Overrides? (VV or VG >> Annotation Categories >> Dimensions). 

I hope this helps!

YES, I PROVE VISIBILITY, THE CUESTION IS, I CAN DIMENSIONING THE LEVELS IN SECTION BUT I CAN'T ACT THE GRIDS, MAYBE THE REASON WOULD BE THE GRIDS ARE NOT PERPENDICULAR. BUT IN THE ARCH MODEL I CAN DIMENSIONING THIS GRIDS.

WOULD YOU THINK THE PROBLEM IS WITH LINKS OR COPY MONITOR OR...?



THANK YOU

Hi @sonia.martinez, 

Could you possibly attach a Screenshot which will help me better understand your question. "I CAN'T ACT THE GRIDS"

Grid lines can only show up in an elevation/section if they are perpendicular to the elevation/section view. For example, think of a situation when user could try to use a dimension to a slanted grid to position some objects relative to grids. 

I hope this helps!

Otherwise, you can always use a detail line and make it invisible. Then draw that line or reference plane across the non-parallel grid to form an intersection point. There shouldn't be any problem with the linked model which you might have thought. 

This image below might help to explain my point above a bit better. My "Red Line" which Crosses the non-parallel grids would typically then be your invisible line or reference plane. 

I hope this helps!
