That is created by the Angular Dimension in Revit.
Revit requires a View, Specific Sub-Elements and an Arc (the offset)
Hi Japhy,
This arc length linear dimension type does not work. The add angular dimension always accept angular dimension type.
I see you got it figured out. These aren’t intuitive workflows by any means. Placing dimensions efficiently with the Revit UI would require a pre-configuration interface of some sort that allows the user to setup the workflow. Something we’ve discussed but are pretty far away from.
Thanks for sharing…
"The sequence of references selection is critical:
1-Start with the Arc Edge: This is the curve along which the length will be measured.
2-Next, Select the First Intersecting Reference: This defines where your dimension starts.
3-Finally, Select the Second Intersecting Reference: This marks the endpoint of the measurement."
Thank you for your feedback. I wanted to point out that this workflow currently only works in Revit 2025 and isn’t compatible with earlier versions. I also noticed in one of your previous posts that you used the “Add Angular Dimension” component instead of the “Add Arc Length Dimension” component. I’m curious if there are any particular advantages or differences between these approaches, especially in terms of compatibility with older Revit versions.
Sure thing, I’ll keep this on the to-do list.
