You need to select the plane that you are dimensioning

Can you explain how you select the plane.  I can hit tab and cycle through the planes that I want to dimension in the view but it still forces them to snap on the base plane.  Is there a way to define the plane that the dimension is located in or do you have to use a reference plane?

It sure seems like this should be intuitive but I can't figure it out.

Thanks.

Hi JMSKENNEDY it's very simple to define the plane where you want to work, in this case dimension the 3D object see the video: http://screencast.com/t/KXUFBsLKf0O

Nevermind.  I figured it out.  You just need to choose the work plane before you place the dimensions.  Much easier than I made it out to be.
