Imperial

Landscape plans are constructed by drawing full-size in model space. Construction teams need properly dimensioned drawings to implement the work. Any enquiry of a design (in model space) will give meaningful values in the units used to construct the design. In the USA, while a design will be drawn with the base unit set to decimal feet, there is often a need to display dimensions in feet and inches.

The figure below shows a design for a front garden with dimensions shown in feet and inches.

Imperial dimensions This movie shows how to apply linear and aligned dimensions to a landscape drawing. We adjust text location, offset from the dimension origin, and more. We also show how to control the dimensions display in the USA environment, where dimensions must be displayed in both feet and inches.
