Basic Concept of User Dimension

Dimensions created in Information Mode have a red lock symbol on the right. If the lock is marked as locked, the object has the dimension that is updated with the updates to the model. User Dimension displays a locked lock if the origin is placed on a Member created in CIM. Even if the object is created from CIM, the lock is displayed as unlocked and it is not synced to updates if the origin is set on an object such as Tendon or Rebar.
