Imperial

Landscape plans are constructed by drawing full size in model space. Construction teams need properly dimensioned drawings to implement the work. This means that any enquiry of a design (in model space) will give values that are meaningful 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 make adjustments to text location, offset from dimension origin etc. We show how to control the display of dimensions in the USA environment where there is a need to display a dimension in both feet and inches.
