Distance helpers

This article shows you how the distance helpers in the Archilogic Editor work

When selecting structural elements like walls, windows, or doors, you'll notice dimension strings showing the distance of the element. These distance helpers help you to be more precise when adjusting the position of said elements.
You can switch on additional distance helpers for assets, so that you can see how far away from a wall a table is located, etc.

Distance helpers for structural editing are always shown.
