Hi guys! I am wondering if anyone knows a way to pull a dimension style’s ‘Precision’ Settings? I am created a QA family to check the precision of our dimension styles against an ‘acceptable’ list. Some of our users have been rounding dimensions… I can get the dim styles to check against project s…

That too is on my to-do list. I believe it’s been done but I don’t know yet how they did it. There is a BuiltInParameter Enumeration for DIM_STYLE_LINEAR_UNITS on RevitAPIDocs that looks promising but I’m still new to the API so not sure yet how to utilize it.

This may help: [image] Dimension Unit Settings - Finding Styles That Don't Use Project Settings Developers Dang, alright. I will check it out. Not sure what is going on there.

See below for another implementation of what Jacob has linked to above: [image] import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') from Autodesk.Revit.DB import FilteredElementCollector, DimensionType, BuiltInParameter clr.AddReference('RevitServices') from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager …

Rethinking what I want to do here (which is probably different from the OP). Instead of determining which styles are different from the project settings, what I really want to know is which displayed dimension strings are different from the actual dimensional values. Luckily, @john_pierson has us …

Speaking of this workflow, @john_pierson … I’m using Dimensions.DisplayValueString and comparing it to Dimensions.ValueString which works great until the units of the dimension are set to something other than feet/inch. If, for example, the dimension style is set to display inches my comparison come…

Hmmmmmm. I think spring nodes has a node to convert a number to a string representation. If not, I bet the Humanizer toolkit has some info for it. AU this week, I can take a look when I get back in office.

Yep. Enjoy! I don’t know the Humanizer toolkit. I’ll have to check it out.

Thanks for the reply guys! actually what you are describing is basically what I am trying to do! Im not trying to compare it to project settings but, as you say, compare shown values vs. actual values to make sure precision is correct/not rounded. I am not familiar with Humanizer either, I will hav…

@john_pierson , the nodes Dimensions.DisplayValueString and Dimensions.DisplayUnits seem to be broken in 2022.1 with current rhythm package 2021.7.3??

well dang. what error does it give? would you mind reporting here instead? [image] Issues · johnpierson/RhythmForDynamo A collection of nodes for use in Dynamo with Revit. - Issues · johnpierson/RhythmForDynamo Since this is a bug I can track it better there…
