Single Panel Plan - Dimensioning

In this dialog box, settings for dimensioning certain features and for the plate contour can be configured:

Dimension end panels: This switch enables the dimensioning of end panels. When this option is enabled, they will no longer be considered for dimensioning the plate contour, even if they should influence the plate contour.

Dimension cutouts: This switch enables the dimensioning of cutouts. When this option is enabled, they will no longer be considered for dimensioning the plate contour, even if they should influence the plate contour.

Dimension seams: This switch enables the dimensioning of seams. When this option is enabled, they will no longer be considered for dimensioning the plate contour, even if they should influence the plate contour.

Minimum diameter for holes: Boreholes with a diameter smaller than the value entered here will not be dimensioned.

Holes / markings / vertical recesses: For these features, various dimension chain types can be selected.

Dimension small bays separately: If the plate contains bays that are narrower than the value specified in the field 'minimum width for large bays', and this option is enabled, then these narrower bays will be dimensioned separately. For each bay, the length and the depth on both sides of the bay will be dimensioned.

Dimension outer contour: This option enables the dimensioning of the plate outer contour and also allows influencing the dimension chain type. See 'minimum width for large bays' for further information.

Dimension inner contours: This option enables the dimensioning of the inner contours of the plates and also allows influencing the dimension chain type. Inner contours include all openings in the plate that were created by hard-soft intersections. This includes, for example, all window and door openings.

Dimension center of gravity: This option enables the dimensioning of the plate centroid and also allows influencing the dimension chain type.

Minimum width for large bays: All bays in the plate's outer contour that are wider (longer) than or equal to the value entered here will be included in the outer contour dimensioning. All bays that are smaller than the value entered here will not be dimensioned in the outer contour. They can instead be given their own dimensioning. (See above 'Dimension small bays separately')
