Creating linear dimensions

“

- [Instructor] In the last video, we spent a little bit of time organizing some of the component groups that we're using to set up angles and dimensions in our measured drawing of this Voronoi shelf pattern, and this process is really important. It's going to help us keep organized, and depending on how we want to go about fabrication, we'll have some crucial information for things like the size and the angle that we'll need to fabricate. In this video, I'll do one additional step in that process, and that is to add some linear dimensions for each one of our panels. So, let's zoom in a little bit here in Rhino, and just talk about what we're going for. So, we've already set up labels that are going to show us each of the individual cells in our pattern, as well as labels specific to each of the panels. And, that includes a panel number and then the cell that it corresponds to. So, in this video, I'd like to add some linear dimensions that are going to go along the longest edge of each…
