  • Is that what you wanted to achieve? With pure MicroStation (V8i) I use a Smartline and  AccuDraw RA to rotate the ACS along the upper elements lower edge, Set the origin O and smartlock the direction and use the intersection snap I to find my startpoint (top right in the current view) from there I go left along the upper element using the smartlock and nearest snap N to find the second datapoint. Then I snap the other two corners and close my smartline.

    I get a slightly different size though. I could keyin the distance to the second point.
