hello folks , i have one long line , and few lines that are perpendicular to it , and a view i want to utilize them to create a dimension line out of them! whats the easiest way? i tried turning the references lines into detail line , but dynamo crashes , and also tried turning them into reference planes , then also crashes whats the easiest and fastest way? btw i want something that could work with multiples lines having their multiples references lines grouped in sub lists! thankss!
dynamo curves itself dont have any reference so yes a way with revit curves in revit could probably work, but hard to say for me, as i dont really cant see what you are doin
yes i tired turning them into detail lines but dynamo freezes and i have to restart idk why, i m making dynamo lines and intersecting them with my revit wall geometry to build perpendicular references lines on them and then using them as dimensions! thats my goal , i set up all the work , i just need to get the dimensions to show in revit
it shouldnt, so these only exist as dynamo curves at first ?
first yes , i create them in dynamo
then it should be possible create the lines in revit with some import lines and dimension them
i tired turning them into detail lines in revit but dynamo freezes and i have to restart, its weird
yes sounds so, is it the same with model lines ?
what do you mean by model lines?
yeah these exist in 3d as well and not viewspecific…but just a guess…ps are your detail curves you try import on plane ?
i need them to be constructed on my active view so i can use them as references geometry to create the dimensions?
yes i understand…can you share a bit rvt sample and your graph and we can take a look
OK here are the files , ive used data remember so you can just try that out on both data remember nodes ,
cotation par clique.rvt (5.7 MB)
Cotation par clique.dyn (91.1 KB)
that is extemly weird , it works only when i do pass them through data remember , but it freezes when i plug them in immediatly
allright not sure the rvt is full of walls rooms is it that you will dimension, and not the situation you show in your images ???
the script works in specific way , i need to set it to periodic 100 ms , then i click on walls closest to , and it autuomatically creates an offset lines , and when i press LMB it creates the line in dynamo , and then i turn back to manual mode and then i perform intersection of lines with wall geometry , and then i create perpendiuclar lines on those intersections , that creates the rrference detail curves for my diimensions , and then it shoudl create the dimensions from that
allright i can only tell you how the tool works, if you are after some other way, i cant ,try one situation as you showed, and then scale it up for your needs…i cant at least right now…good luck, but thanks for sharing your files so other probably can do, but maybe i dont really understand 
ps try first in manuel, before you do anything in autuomatically mode…if i understand
This sounds like a painfully specific process to put users though, and the periodic run mode will eventually become problematic.
Why not start with a ‘select model element’ node and configure things for player in one go?
because i want to see a preview the curve before accepting that it will turn into a dimension line , the script also detects certain keys(1.2.3.4.5) those will affect the length of the dimension line, because sometimes i want the dim line to have a certain length , and when i LMB it records the curve
