Add a Distance Constraint

Add geometric constraints between parts. For example, add a distance constraint between the center lines of pipes, or between a pipe center line and some other building component.

1. Select Modeling | Connection | Distance.
2. Select a line or a point.
3. Select the next element: a line or a point.
4. Select the location of the distance measurement.
5. Define the constraint data in the dialog box:
   • Enter the distance in the Value field.
   • The checkbox Drives geometry is selected by default. If the checkbox is empty, the dimension will be added as a regular dimension.
6. Confirm by clicking OK.
