Setting the annotation scale

“

- [Instructor] We're staying in the 07_Elevations3D_House drawing and as you can see, I've left it in the same state as it was in the previous video. So we've got our viewport set up at one to 50 for both our elevations at the bottom of the drawing title block there. What we need to start thinking about now is the annotation scale. Now, normally if you were working in, say, a 2D drawing like we did previously with our 2D elevations, in the model tab here you would work with a 2D elevation like that. Dimension it up, set it up in a viewport to the right scale and then set your annotation scale accordingly like we did in the 2D elevations in this course earlier. When you're working with a 3D model that's different because you've got a 3D space to think about. So, for example, If I jumped up to the view cube here and clicked on a corner and set that to an isometric or perhaps picked a different corner, that isometric there, you can see that obviously dimensioning becomes an issue…
