Filter dimension by length and add text

Revit
6

You could try this Python script to see if it works :slight_smile: Please note this has been written for the metric system, so if you’re in the US it will be a little different.

It will set the chosen text above the dimension - but only if the dimension, or dimension segment, is greater than your chosen value :slight_smile:
