Thanks David, sounds similar to the approach Doug is suggesting. I’ll try that.

The dimension lines are deceiving here as they were drawn by the Architect, and you’re just seeing my colored markup on top.

That said, if you do draw in dimension lines I’ve learned that if you click on the line, hover over the center control point and hold Shift then you can drag the dimension line as close or far as you want from your takeoff, offsetting it by whatever dimension works best for your application..
