Hi all

I have posted a thread already about dimensioning rooms. I have also read many thread about dimensioning walls, elements, etc. However some of these threads get very complicated or did not find a solution or went off topic.

There has to be a way to dimension between parallel walls. Someone must have done this without so much use of Python, or complicated scripts. This would be a great outcome from Dynamo in any office to dimension all rooms. (never mind between openings yet, just rooms will do)

I have attempted many different kinds of scripts from all the threads on this (and I am completely lost), so I don’t want to screenshot all them. I am just asking in general, does someone have a script that works. I am sure I have seen all related threads, so if I have missed one that works, then I do apologise, but could you point me towards it.

Or even just some Dynamo wizzkid to tell me ‘it can’t be done’.

Thank you

Thanks @Nico_Stegeman, but where can I find Wall Dimension node? Done a search in packages and no sign.

Can you give a screen shot of your final Script including the use of the Passthrough node please.
