Dimensions allow you to show distances between the appropriate points in your structure. The dimension lines are included on any drawings you create. To create dimensions, see the following instructions.
Create a single dimension
On the Model tab, click Dimension.
Click the grid point at the start of the dimension.
Click the grid point at the end of the dimension.
Tekla Structural Designer shows a line between the selected points.
Move the line to the point where you want the dimension line to lie.
Choose a point that is easily visible and does not conflict with the rest of your model's details.
