Hello everybody,

I’m trying to generate an automatic dimension using Dynamo (Dimension.ByElements node). When i run it for the first time it works properly with my selected elements, but if i run it a second time, it delets the previous dimension and create a new one for the new selected elements. I would like to keep the previous dimension related to the previous selected elements, and create a new dimension for the new elements. I had the same problem with other scripts when it comes to select elements and generate a revit element in Dynamo. Can anyone help me in this topic? Thanks.
