You can exaggerate narrow dimensions to make them easier to read by using the macro
Exaggerate selected dimensions. When exaggerated, a dimension that is narrower than the limit defined in the
Options dialog box is enlarged using the defined scale. If there are many exaggerated dimensions,
Tekla Structures arranges them automatically.

Go to
On the
File menu, click and go to the
Drawing dimensions page.

Set the
Exaggeration limit and
Exaggeration scaling.
Exaggeration scaling defines whether you are using
Paper or
Model as the exaggeration scaling method. If you select
Paper, the exaggeration limit is multiplied by the view scale. If you select
Model, and the scale is 1:10, all the dimensions smaller than 10 mm are exaggerated regardless of the drawing scale.
