I know I did it last week (or at least that's what I think I managed to do!) but have been unable to reproduce it.
I'm trying to draw a ref plane to an edge of a sloped roof so I can place a spot dimension on that ref plane. What I managed to do last week enabled me to move the roof slab and the spot dimension updates accordingly. I know I can place the same spot at the end of a sloped slab, but you cannot configure the spot dimension the way we traditionally do (see attachment).
Does anyone know how to, sort of, align a horizontal ref plane to a point? I have no clue how I did it....it seemed I just snapped to an endpoint and that was it, but I cannot reproduce it. The closest I came to it is to group the ref plane and the roof so they move together. I don't think this is what I did last week, but I guess it could have been :confused:
I cannot use levels to show the bottom of decks since the decks slope to allow for storm drainage. And we typically have a lot of different hi/lo conditions even on a one story building. My only option is the spot elevation. Thanks all.
