Hi, I am trying to create Dimension in Revit by creating Line between two elements. Then I only found out the Dimension.ByElements node but: 1 - I don’t clearly get the concept of this, what are reference elements (In this case I have Grids and Columns)? 2 - Is there any node that help us to convert the Line into Dimension? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/c/2c97dc5e2e3ff4c83a7df69016533f72530a4971.png) I appreciate your help. Thanks so much. ---

Hi Simon, thank you for sharing, but I am trying to creat the Dimensions between Two elements, bot dimension of element.
