Revit :: Mask Regions With 0mm Dimension?

Dec 29, 2013

I'm using a couple of masked regions to form symbol linework (so that it obscures background and shadows) in section.
 
In my screen family, I have a masked region that in theory could end up having a 0mm length - that obviously throws out errors.
 
The following screen grab shows the regions (at screen soffits) that are set to lock to the frame face and external wall face. Trouble is I have an instance parameter to allow the screen to fill the whole wall thickness (which also then toggles on architraves). This results in the 0mm. I have therefore done a slight 2mm overlap to avoid the issue, but this leaves a residual ovelap in the linework that looks ugly.
 
Setting the masked region to simply not display doesn't avoid the problem, Revit still 'sees' the errant 0mm.
 
Is there a way of having this masked region working in both options (ie when needed - locked to ref planes) and then not producing the error when the frame and wall are coplanar ?

Revit :: Detail Lines And Filled Regions Move In Exterior Elevation View?

Sep 5, 2012

What would cause lines to move left/right some seemingly random distance in an elevation view?  Rarely, I run into an issue where detail lines and filled regions added to an elevation view (not text, or leaders) will move some random distance, I've attached a PDF showing the issue.  No other elevations, plans, or sections have anything wrong with them.  The model has not moved to a different position.

AutoCad :: Background Mask In Dimension Text

May 23, 2006

If you can background mask dimension text the same way you can with mtext. I know i can explode the dimension and edit the text and give it a background, but that is poor practice. I still want to keep the dimension associated.

Revit :: How To Change The Numerical Value Of A Dimension

Mar 29, 2013

I was wandering while doing a project of some construction elements if there is any way in Revit that I can change the numerical value of an dimension not with the text but with different value ? and at the same time I don't want Revit to rescale my elements. Something like in AutoCAD that I can type in any number I want and Revit won't rescale i or change the distance between them.
 
I know that I could simply use AutoCAD instead of Revit but I find it easier in general  and I really want to learn it since I'm a student.

Revit :: How To Dimension Imported 3D File

Jun 26, 2013

 I'm designing a piece of furniture in Rhino using Grasshopper.  I would like to create my measured drawings of this piece in Revit (as a way of learning the software).  I have linked the 5 components of the piece to my Revit project file (as SAT files but I could export them as something else if that would work).  All I want to do is create a single sheet showing 1 plan view, 2 elevations, 1 section and an exploded axon.  However, I cannot seem to dimension the components.  I need overall dimensions as well as the size of radii at curved corners in elevation and filleted corners in plan, and also thickness of the material used.
 
Is there something I need to do to get the dimensions to 'see' this set of objects?

Revit :: How To Dimension To End Of A Non-parallel Line

Sep 26, 2013

I need to dimension between the face of a wall and non parallel wall opposite it.  The non parallel wall turns a 90 degree corner, and it is at this corner that I want to measure perpendicular to my first wall.
 
1. Is there a way to dimension between non-parallel walls?  When you place the dimension you click on the wall at the location you want to dimension, so I don't see why Revit can't place the dimension at that point.  That dimension would be particular to that one point along the non-parallel wall.
2. I got around this by placing a reference plane and dimensioning to that, but I'd rather not do this because then if I hide the reference plane, my dimension disappears.
 
Is there another work around or am I missing a tool I don't know about?

Revit :: How To Make Dimension Text Smaller

Nov 29, 2007

I would like to make the dimension text smaller so that the information doesn't become so crowded. I notice that the dimensions are written like 12' - 10 3/4", with a space between the ' and the - and a space between the - and the 10, rather than 12'-10 3/4", like an old-fashioned person like me would write. Is there a way to control that? I looked into the dimension edit dialog box & couldn't see a way. AutoCAD writes them like I like.

Revit :: Cannot Purge Unused Dimension Styles

Jul 14, 2011

I had a user ask why some dimension styles cannot be purged even if all the dimensions are deleted from the project.

Most probably the dimension style is used in a family that is loaded in the project.

When you select all dimension instances in the entire project, it will not select those included in the families. But the purge function will 'see' that it is still used in a family and therefore it will not be listed in the purge dialog.

So you will have to find in which family the dimension style is used.

I don't think there is an easy way to do it. I would make a copy of the project and then delete a bunch of families until the dimension style can be purged, then refine the research until to find the family that contains the dimension style.

Revit :: Can't Move Windows By Temp Dimension

Dec 4, 2013

Why would a window be movable by dragging but not movable by changing the temporary dimension?  It's not pinned.
 
It works fine for the walls, but no matter what I put in the dimension value it won't budge the window an inch.
 
Is it an error in my family or is there something wrong with the project?  I've been having a lot of problems with this one.  I feel like it's all the funny angles, but the window and the door are in the same freaking wall so why should that matter?

Revit :: How To Edit Precision For Aligned Dimension

Sep 21, 2011

Is it possible to edit the percision for an aligned dimension. I know that the aligned dimension requires walls to be parallel. But what if two walls are .000000002 degrees off from being perfectly parallel? Would that really be enough of a difference to make thealign dimension tool unuseable? Is there a way to change the percision for the aligned dimension to read fewer decimal places? I have a rather large project that is in the later stages of CD's and really don't want to have to recheck the alignment of every wall.
