Dimensioning heights as RLs

Hi all,

I would love to be able to annotate the correct RLs of floor levels and roof ridges without having to do manual calculations. I have been caught out by manual calcs before so I’m trying to automate the process. Is there a PlusSpec, Layout or Sketchup function to assign the base coordinate of 0,0,0 to a datum or RLs given by a survey? It would be useful to have the option for dimension tool in Layout to measure distance from point to point or measure height from datum.

I am trying out TIG’s ‘Height from Datum’ plugin. Not sure yet how it will translate to Layout. https://sketchucation.com/plugin/1922-heighttool_datum

cheers,

Fahimah

Hi Fahimah,

Thank you for your post.

I’m not aware of any feature or extension available inside of SketchUp that does what you’re after. However, we may have a feature coming in one of the next couple of releases that’ll help do what you’re after in regards to RL’s. Unfortunately, I don’t have any more info on this at the moment.
