Hi, the new development of dimension components is great.
I want to ask if there will be some components in the future that allows us to extract all references from the specific object and then based on the needs filter some of them.
For example, when I want to dimension walls I would like to sort exterior and interior side references of the walls in one direction and then add a serial dimension that shows thickens of the walls and distance between them
Hi Pedro,
I’m working on the area plans and dimensioning an automatic partition of the areas.
I’ve updated some of your newest component about the boundary lines and new areas and they work good (I’ve only had to update the view input as the original area view plan and not a dependent area view plan).
In the last sample you’re using the linear dimension for the walls to get aligned dimensions.
Since we now can work only in the original area plan, I’ve seen Revit allows only the “aligned” dimensioning for not vertical and horizontal area boundaries, and Linear Dimensions works only with the endpoints.
Are you going to build a component as the Aligned Dimension is?
I’m trying to add direct shapes as curves or points as references but it doesn’t work the same. In this case the error message is “invalid number of references”. I think the best is to use revit elements as references without adding any shape. From Revit you can pick an end point from the boundary curve as reference. Do you know how can I get it and send it in grasshopper without converting it in a Rhino Geometry?
Hi. very glad to have these dimensions component.
but I found that I can achieve with walls, model lines. but when I try other element, like detail lines and mullions, I failed. could you please have a look?
Are Linear Dimensions only supposed to work in Floor Plans at the moment? I can’t get them to show up in Sections or Elevations.
And are you supposed to be able to edit the dimensions once they are placed? My goal would be to make a dimension string and then be able to add/modify/move it as required to suit the other elements/annotations in the view.
As soon as I touch this string it seems to break, even with the component disabled in GH.
Hi Kike,
Very thank for you reply.
I can output the dimensions with the model line. but I don’t know when I change to detail line in view, it doesn’t work. you can see the detail line in revit, but error for the dimension component.
