Revit :: Set Up Alternate Dimensions That Report Value Represented In Different Way Via Formula

Feb 12, 2014

is it possible (Revit 2014) to set up alternate dimensions that report the value represented in a different way via a simple formula? 
 
I am trying to show my dims as brick units (based on standard metric bricks 215x102.5x65mm with 10mm mortar joint), and was hoping to create new 3 dim types, based on CO+, CO- and CO, so the alternate dims i want would be:
 
CO+ =[value-10]/225CO- =[value+10]/225CO simply =[value/225] 

with the appropriate suffixes (CO+, CO- and CO). If this is possible..... or on the cards?

Revit :: Adding Pop Up Window To A Formula?

Oct 3, 2013

We have a family that errors when certain values are hit. Its realated to Automatic Sketch Dimension reassociating with work planes when two workplans over lap... Anyway, the QA team knows about this.
 
The problem I have is that I have an IF statement to trigger an generic error message when these two rare conditions are met. I would rather a pop up window explaining what thy can not do. "Position of legs from ends can not equal half total length" and an OK button.
 
Is there a "say" style command for revit formulas?

Revit :: Visibility Control Formula?

Nov 12, 2013

I'm facing a problem dealing with visibility formulas... My situation that im dealing with is, I have 2 yes/no visibility parameters, one that is called Right side clearance and another one named Left side clearance. I want to create another yes/no visibility parameter that's called Clearance. I want to link the Right and Left clearance parameter to the Clearance parameter where if it is off, then there will be nothing that shows.. But if I want it on then I would have to select either right or left without them both showing up?

Revit :: How To Use Host Wall Thickness In Formula

Dec 27, 2013

I'm trying to use a formula in a family that requires the host wall thickness.
 
I've setup an instance reporting parameter (dimensioned to the host wall faces) - which works fine in reporting the correct value.
 
But when I try to use that variable in a formula, I keep getting the error:
 
"Instance Parameters can't be used in Type Parameter formulas."
 
Is there a way of getting the reported dimension as a Type rather than an Instance - or is there another work around ?

Revit :: Referencing Imported Family Type In Formula?

Jul 15, 2013

I wish to create a formula for a family parameter which itself references a 'Type' of an imported family.  Specifically I wish to create a quoin stack which can be used for a 'reveal' situation either side of a door or window rather than just on a corner.  A 'quoin stack,' as that which comes with the revit content files, typically is made up of two vertical arrays which intersect giving alternative long and short sides. Each of the arrays is made up of a different quoin type, a 'Short' and a 'Long' type which swap dimensions from from perpendicular face to the other. This of course is no good for a reveal situation where on the window or door reveal of both interleived courses needs to be the same, whilst maintaining the 'long/short' appearance on the wall face containing the window or door.  

I have got so far as to create a 'reveal depth' parameter within the quoin stack family but need to find a way of addressing the 'Long' quoin type to change its 'short' dimension to suit the reveal depth whilst changing the 'long' dimension of the 'Short' quoin type to be the same.

Revit :: Make If And Conditional Statement Formula In Family With 3 Tests?

Jan 15, 2013

is there a way to make a if and conditional statement formula in a family with 3 tests?
 
For example,
 
Behind Furniture, Biscuit, Masonry Wall, Hard Ceiling are all yes/no parameters
 
if(and(Behind Furniture, Biscuit, Hard Ceiling), 0'  0 5/16", if(Behind Furniture, 0'  0 11/64", if(Biscuit, 0'  0 11/64", 0'  0 27/256", if(Masonry Wall, 0'  0 11/64", 0'  0 27/256"))))
 
what is wrond with my formula?
 
I am trying to change a dimension  based on what yes/no parameters are checked. It keeps telling me that its "a bad if statement format". It works fine for the first teo dimension tests but when I add this last one I get the error. I need the 3rd dimension to check against 3 yes/no parameters all being = yes before moving on to the next check.

Revit :: Getting Shared Volume Parameter To Work And Report In Tag?

Jul 11, 2012

I am having some issues getting a shared Volume parameter to work and report in a tag correctly.  I can get the tag to report a value, but it is reporting the a value based on default values of the column (9*2*2) and not the value of the actual column (shown in the properites).  Also, the tag I create reports a question mark, not the volume calculated.  I've tried this a million times so it could be I have crossed up a parameter somewhere.

Revit :: Temporary Dimensions Do Not Show?

Nov 5, 2013

I am using Revit 2014.  My temporary dimensions do not show.  When they do, they only show on one side.  I have gone to Manage>Additional Settings>Temporary Dimensions, and tried the different options.  It is making it very difficult to place things right now.  Is there an all on button I can push?  I have also tried closing and re-opening the file, turning off the computer, etc.  They were available for use yesterday morning and have not worked since.

Revit :: Bring To Front Dimensions?

Nov 16, 2012

I am having a problem with dimensions and making them opaque. I want to use "Bring to Front" to solve it, but Revit does not give me this option.
 
To detail out my problem: I have a dim style style setup to make dimesion text mask out objects behind it. The problem we are having is that if I draw one dimension, then draw a second dimenion that is over top of the first dim's text the second's extension line is not hidden behind the text. If I delete the first text and redraw it, it will then hide the second dim's extension line. The proper solution is to use "Bring to Front" to fix it. But Revit is not giving me this option. I am using 2011 right now. Has this been fixed in newer versions of Revit, or did the programmers never figure we would need to do that?

Revit :: Temporary Dimensions Not Showing On Both Direction?

Jun 6, 2013

I'm placing lighting fixtures in an RCP, and after I place the light and select it, I only get temp dims in the vertical direction on screen, not the horizontal. Before I click to locate the object, the temp dims in both directions show up, but as soon as I click to place, only one tmep dim shows up.
 
If I place an aligned dimension from a wall face to the center of the light, and then selct the light, the dimension is not activated to adjust the distance. If I want to move the light, I have to drag it - I cannot input the distance into the dimension.
 
This makes trying to center a light in a room, or a set distance froma wall, next to impossible and extremely annoying and ecessively time comsuming.

Revit :: Aligned Dimensions Shift While Moved

Dec 11, 2011

[URL] How is it possible that I place an aligned dimension between two paralel grids and the dimensions changes as I drag it up and down? First of all, in order to be able to place an aligned dimensions the objects have to be absolutely paralel to each other, so I don't get why when I move the dimension it changes. If the grids were really not paralel to each other Revit shouldn't allow me to place the aligned dimension in the first place, isn't that right?

Revit :: Remove Unwanted Dimensions From String

Dec 19, 2011

Is there anyway to create a dimension string and then remove individual dimensions from it, while still keeping it as a contiguous string?
 
I ask, because in our office we dimension from finish face to finish face.  I would like to run a single dimension string, but when I create a face-to-face dimension string it also dimensions the thickness of the walls.  I just want to see the room dimensions, not the wall dimensions, but I can't figure out how to remove the wall dimensions while still keeping the others.
 
Furthermore, if this is possible, can I still use the equality constraint?  I don't want to see wall dimensions, but would still like to be able to make all of my rooms equal.

Revit :: Wall Placement And Temp Dimensions?

Dec 16, 2011

I am sorta of new to Revit. I have been using it off and on for about 3 years and I have one burning question. What  and how does Revit determine where the temp dimension is based off of when you are placing new walls? I have had the temp dimension jump all the way across a plan to find a wall that I drew 3-4 hours ago and has no relevance to the current wall I am drawing. The space I am currently on has a geometric relationship to the walls around it, not to a partition wall 200 feet away with no relationship to the current space. Yes I understand the building as a whole has a relationship to all parts within, but I think you get the drift.
