Automatic dimension in 3D view

[eng.ahmedelshamy.bim]

Dear All,

I really need your help to be able to make automatic dimension in 3D view for piping as i am working on piping projects and we want to create isometric view with dimensions and information for the piping, i tried with different options from Dynamo but i failed and dont know how to create the script.

i started to convert the pipe to start and end points then place point family on those point to read dimensions between them but its failed. can you help?

Hi @eng.ahmedelshamy.bim,

Can you post an image of your attempts ?

Here is an example :

Auto-Dimension 3D View

Hi @eduardoolimot Next time be more specific and show your attempts. What surface and what element are you talking about? I developed in the Genius Loci package several nodes to dimension so it’s possible. You do not need to lock the 3D view but you have to set the active SketchPlane. Here are two examples : Floor and wall surfaces to element : [Dimension%203Dview] [Dimension%203D%20view] Between two elements : [Dimension%203Dview%20pick%20points] [Dimension%20Pick%20point]

what i did is first:
1- create point family in revit placed on the start and end point of pipe.
2- tryining to use dimension by element to take dimension between every two reference revit point family in the 3d view.

the issue that its not working and i would like to have help on it, always i need dimension over the pipe only to create isometric piping 3D view.
