Im trying to creat zones for doing daylight simulation. I need the zone to be 0,5 meters from the wall. I have placed aligned dimensions, but I find that I am endlessly draggin these around to get the correct distance, and the again, trying to fit my polysquare that I use for the zone in grashopper, to align with the leader.
This works the other way around. You create your rectangle and dimension it. When you then modify that rectangle (by, for example, typing a specific length value when scaling 1D), the dimension will automatically update.

Thank you very much for your reply, Im a noob at Rhino, and not exactly shure how to do what your suggested. But your reply did lead me to a solution I am very happy with.
I achived it by doing this:
First draw a rectangle (any size)
Select the box
Then go to BoxEdit (Type BoxEdit and hit Enter)
Set X and Y values in size to 0.5:
Then Move the box to one corner of the room (Type Move, then select a corner point of the box, and move it to a cornor point in the room)
Copy the box 3 times and move accordingly to each cornor of the room.
Then Draw a Polyline from each cornor of the 4 boxes.
Gave me perfect size and distance for zone:
