Join Eric Wing for an in-depth discussion in this video Working with dimensions, part of Revit 2017 Essential Training: MEP (Imperial).
- [Voiceover] Although we may not use Dimensions much…in MEP, it's still prudent to cover the topic.…Like Text, Dimensions are considered annotation.…But Revit Dimensions are a little bit more than that.…We're gonna use Dimensions as both a means to communicate…to the person reading our prints and as a way to lay…out geometry.…So, to get started, let's make sure we're in Sprinkler,…Floor Plans, Callout of 1 - Sprinkler.…Let's get started.…Let's zoom in on this big pipe coming into our building.…Suppose we want to tell them what the distance is from here…to the inside face of this wall.…
On the Annotate tab, click the Aligned Dimension button.…In the Options Properties, let's go Wall Faces.…Let's scroll down to this wall and pick it.…Notice when we hover over our pipe, it gives us…a Centerline.…Go ahead and come up to the Centerline and pick it.…Bring your cursor over to the side and pick a point…off of it.…Then, hit Escape a couple times.…Not a great Dimension.…Let's go ahead and type over it.…Select the two foot five dimension.…
