Dimension generic Annotation Elements from nearest grids (dynamo script snip attached)

Hi all I am trying to give dimension to generic annotation elements from the nearest Vertical and Horizontal grids but somehow always fails to give correct dimension. I think i am not being able to understand “Reference Plane” required to create dimensions.

Any help and guidance would be much appreciated, thanks

Hello,

Are you able to show the geometry preview in Dynamo and show all of the node information in a screenshot. Without seeing where your lines and points are, it’s difficult for me at least to provide good helpful guidance.

One thing to note, if I remember correctly, the line that that node is asking for is the line to place the dimension string, and the references are where the dimension is starting and stopping.

Hi @patrick_podeyn , I am getting line which seems correct, Paralle to grids

Can you show the rest of your nodes outputs and what the result is in Revit?

I have attached dyn file, i was working on my office machine so currently I don’t have access to it!

Hi @sovitek, could you please have a look and guide me what i am doing wrong

Hi @Vinay do you have a small rvt sample we can try on ?

Hi @sovitek, I am trying it on Live project, but i did tried it on autodesk sample projects(thinking coordinates or project setup might be causing issue)and i got same result

allright not really sure, but seems for your annotion family isnt the right referencetype…try this one instead and see if it could work…just an example
