I just simply placed them in approximately the locations where I wanted them to go. This underscores a very important concept in Revit. Revit is a sketch-based program, and what I mean by that is, it's designed around this notion that you sketch things out roughly at first, and then you come back and slowly refine them as you learn more information. So I like to refer to that as progressive refinement or sketch then modify. So what we did in the previous video was, we sketched in the location of all of our column grids. And what we're going to do in this video is modify the locations of those grids to more precise locations, based on new design information that we now know. So to do that, we're going to take advantage of a feature called temporary dimensions. Now a temporary dimension appears whenever you have…
