Reconnecting dimensions, overide?

Postby millerjx » Wed Apr 27, 2022 7:24 pm

Is there a way to turn off the reconnect dimensions to the model red flag?
I didn't move anything in SU. I have flags that I can't remove.
If I say reconnect to the model, they don't.
If I manually move both sides of a dimension, it still doesn't reconnect.

Thanks in advance for the help!

The red flags won't print in the PDF export so you could ignore them.

You should be able to reconnect the dimension by moving its anchor points. Are you clicking into the dimension so you can move the red anchor points? Did you remove the original anchor points in the SketchUp model?

Another option would be to explode the dimensions so they aren't trying to connect to anything in the model.

Thanks Dave
I was using the blue arrows to "rescale" and return dimension. I didn't click in to see the red endpoints. I just moved them. Solved.
Thanks for the help!

I'll keep the other workarounds in my library of ways to fix stuff, thanks

Yes. Simply resizing the dimension doesn't do the job. You have to get into it and move the points. Glad you've got it sorted.
