Dimension to sloped elements but by reference point

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create linear dimensions for elements by points. I initially attempted to use auto-dimension, I tried using the ‘Dimension.ByReference’ Node, which dimensioned by referencing the left/right planes, leading to incorrect dimension values.

The attached image shows the red-colored dimensions created by the script and the green-colored dimensions, which are the expected correct dimensions.

Is there a solution to dimension points to points without using reference planes? Alternatively, can we dimension it by referencing points directly?

Thank you for your help.


Hi @pranavnagure2k17 probably element point reference could work…depends which element kind you will dimension…

I have always recommended to use the reference planes and never tried using point references. But what @sovitek is showing, should work for what you are after.

Yeah Samuel, im agree its seem more stable…but any way in my exemple [columns] in section… you will need set your slanted colum style as angle driven, so if it with endpoint driven, you can set you parameter to angle driven and set the parameter back after dimension…it works for me…
