==How to use==

# Select a View or a collection of Edges in a View.
# Press the {{Button|[[Image:TechDraw_Dimension_VExtent.svg|16px]] [[TechDraw Dimension Vertical Extent|Dimension Vertical Extent]]}} button
# A dimension will be added to the View. The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.

== Limitations ==

Dimension objects are vulnerable to "topological naming" issues. See the information in the [[TechDraw Dimension Length|TechDraw Dimension Length]] tool for more information.

==Properties==

This object has the same properties as the [[TechDraw Dimension Length|TechDraw Dimension Length]] tool. See that tool for details. Exceptions noted.

=== Data ===

* {{PropertyData|MeasureType}}: {{TRUE}} - based on 3D geometry or "Projected" - based on the drawing. Not normally manipulated directly by the end user. Not yet implemented for Dimension Vertical Extent.

==Scripting==

{{Emphasis|See also:}} [[TechDraw API|TechDraw API]] and [[FreeCAD Scripting Basics|FreeCAD Scripting Basics]].

The Dimension Vertical Extent tool can be used in [[macros|macros]] and from the [[Python|Python]] console by using the following functions:

{{Code|code=
selection = [(view1, 'Edge1'), (view1, 'Edge2')] #or [] for all
hExtentDim = TechDraw.Dimension.makeExtentDim(selection, VERTICAL)
rc = page.addView(hExtentDim)
}}
