dimensions worked out


Explanation:
It's really the same as just dimensions, maybe with a tad more accent on the verb/activity involved, hence 'detailed design with all dimensions worked out' (or worked out dimensions).

agree  Frank van Thienen: or just 'dimensions'. Van Dale translates the Dutch 'dimensioneren' into the English verb 'dimension'. So basically, there is no magic here :-)

neutral  asptech: Careful! "dimension" in English means "maat" in Dutch. I would recommend "sizes".

  -> dimensie(onering) = afmeting = dimension = afmeting, maat, grootte, omvang, dimensie etc. Dimensions is sometimes more abstract/summary concept for 'sizes'.

dimensions specified


Explanation:
dimensioneren = to specify the dimensions of

On the basis of these specifications we will come up with a detailed design meeting the dimensions specified in every way.

Op basis van die specificatie werken wij een gedetailleerd ontwerp uit met alle dimensioneringen.

Explanation

.... met alle dimensioneringen
.... met alle (in de specificatie) op/aangegeven afmetingen
.....dat exact voldoet aan alle (in de specificatie) op/aangegeven afmetingen (in three dimensional space, as if each of it's surface points had been plotted on the x, y and z axis)

so I believe that, when he uses this word "dimensioneringen", the speaker refers to what has been DONE in the specifications

in these specifications all the object's dimensions HAVE BEEN specified

(VDale) dimensioneren = de afmetingen bepalen of vaststellen van = to specify or determine the dimensions of
