CombineDimensions
Описание
CombineDimensions is an easy way to create dimension strings from multiple individual dimensions.
Instead of selecting all the individual elements/references manually, the user can drag a box and select an area and this addin finds all dimensions or dimension strings in that area, analyzes them, groups them based on their direction, and combines the parallel ones into a single dimension string.
It also deletes the ones that are already combined. CombineDimensions removes duplicate references (to avoid having dimension segments of length 0) and automatically places the new dimension string at an average location. Dimensioning the elements/references in a dimension line makes it easier for the user to move it or change the dimension type (i.e. font, gap, etc.).
This plugin is so handy! With model options and lot specific construction sets dimension strings get broken, now we can copy paste partial dimensions from options views and combine them with the main floor plan dimensions instead of having to manually continue the dimension strings.
Great custom tool that expedites the dimensioning process, especially for design/architecture firms.
dimension tool is the one that I use it almost between every other command in Revit. So usually I have a lot of different unconnected dimension lines in my project after a short period of time. after finishing a part and start the annotation, always I asked myself why there there is no possibilty in Revit to join the dimensions I already have.
Especially when there is a lot of dimension lines that you need to move them a bit and you may lose a part just because it is seperated from the main lines and you have forgotten it.
but this app lets you to get rid of any re-doing or missing a part to move or change it's type. it is super fast and I think the point that makes it much much easier to use is that you don't need to filter your selection before hitting the combine button.
