Hello,

I’m newer to Dynamo. I would like to know if we could create linear dimension in Revit with Dynamo.

For example, to select a wall in a view and create automatically linear dimensions with doors, windows nested in the wall.

I tried to search but haven’t found yet. It looks like that we couldn’t. Someone can help?

Thanks in advance,

Someone knows the answer?

Maybe i’m not clear enough. I mean, can we use dynamo to place an dimension in Revit?

Or we must use API to do this?

Thanks for the help.

It seems there are already a few free addins that do this for you.
