3D dimensions allow MEP contractors to generate assembly (or spool) drawings with fewer views, sheets, and with less time and labor.
Creating them using the available commands consumes more time.
Dimensions in a 3D view must be drawn on work planes created along assembly elements, requiring the user to open other views to create and select reference planes for every change of direction.
This add-in provides the user a tool to rapidly generate work planes and dimensions in 3D views by clicking on the assembly elements or existing dimensions.
- Preview the work plane by selecting an MEP element or existing dimension.
- Rotate the work plane around MEP elements by selecting the same point again.
- Generate 3D dimensions five times faster!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Are there any known issues with this product?
Version 2.0.0 (and maybe older versions) was drawing a sphere at Internal Origin and the viewports would expand to include it, making viewports too big for sheets. This is fixed in Version 2.0.1.
