Hello everyone,
I am creating some drawings on ShapeDiver and have added dynamic ruler borders to the design. However, when I upload the file to ShapeDiver, the ruler borders do not show up. What could be the issue?
Thank you.
How are you creating those dimensions? Ideally, please post a minimal definition that can help us reproduce the issue.

First, I created a line a little distance away from the 3D model using the “Move” command. Then, I measured its length with the “Length” function, and rounded the number using “integer”. I used the “Line Dimension” command for the display. I connected the line I created with the “Move” command to the “L” part. I connected the number I created with the integer command to the “T” part. I wrote 45 in the “S” part and adjusted the text to a reasonable size.
Hello everyone, anyone has experience on this matter?
The dimension components from the “Display” category of Grasshopper are not supported on ShapeDiver. You have to create dimensions manually using lines and the Text Tag or Text Tag 3D components. Here is a cluster that automates some of these steps for aligned dimensions (it does a lot of things which you might not need as well).

Note that in Rhino 8, we will soon fully support the new dimension data types from the “Rhino” category, meaning that you will be able to use these built-in types and send them to ShapeDiver display components directly.

Hi thank you for the support, here’s how I fixed it;
-I use the start and end points of the line as inputs to measure
-I create a new line parallel to this line (measurement line).
-I use spheres at the start and end points of this new line instead of arrows (so I don’t have to worry about direction).
-I create another line parallel to the measurement line. I use this line to determine the point where I’ll place the TAG (with the Curve Middle function) and to measure its length (with the Length function).
-Finally I use Text Tag and custom preview for visualization.
