Can we create a copy of dimensions at same location

Revit
1

i create the dimensions for the elements using “Dimension.ByElements” node.

And tried creating dimensions for new elements but the Dimensions which are created are deleting.
i have tried baking the elements with beaker package but it didn’t work…!

So, i got an idea that if we copy the dimension at the same location, then one will be deleted and one will be there.

how can a copy the dimension ?

Thanks in advance.

With Best Regards.

This is an element binding issue. See this post for a detailed breakdown.

Solved using Genius Loci Package.

Used Dimension by reference instead of “Dimension.ByElements”

Thankyou @dineshsubramani
