User Dimension General Concepts

Image Removed

Dimensions created in Information Mode are marked with a red lock on the right. If the lock is marked as locked, it means that the object is a dimension that is updated together when the model is updated. User Dimension is displayed with a padlock when the origin is placed on the member created from CIM. Even for an object created from CIM, if the origin is set on an object such as a Tendon or Rebar, the lock will be displayed as unlocked and the model will not be linked, so the model will not be updated.
