Auto dimensioning Columns not parallel to grids

Hi All, May I know if there is any way to auto dimension the columns which are not parallel to grids, @sovitek , can you please let me know if you have come across any such instance, Thanks in advance

the circled column for example

How would you manually dimension that column?

By picking the centre point of the column

do you mean center columns to the closest grid ? is so find the columns reference…i like genius loci for that kind and like openmep closest grid node and use closest point node…but can be done with ootb as well

Yes, the one which is not parallel to grids on either X or Y direction , by making use of openMep, i can get the closest grid but since the grid reference and column reference for this is not parallel to each other , the node “dimension by reference” is not giving the desired output
