How do I create dimension lines in the 3D view?

I would like to display dimension lines in the Revit 3D view as shown in the image. Can you please tell me how to do this in Dynamo?
I have read several posts in the forum but could not solve the problem.
I have also attached a Revit file showing what I would like to do, which I hope you will find useful.
It would be helpful if you could show specific Dynamo files.

Read especially the bold text in the quote.
I don’t wanna sound like an a**, but did you only read or also tried something yourself?

Also :point_down:.

I would say as Bas, yes its possible except you diameter dimension i guess

Thanks for your reply.
I was able to reproduce the Dynamo you attached, but the Dimension ByReferences node is returning null. I assume the view is a 3Dview.

The selection was made on two of the sides of the cube as shown in the image.
I have also attached the Dynamo file and would appreciate it if you could check it out.

I have no idea why it is returning a null.
Maybe @Alban_de_Chasteigner can tell as he made the node.

Hi Try get the surface reference

I tried it out also out of curiosity. Worked.

Would this :point_down: be the bottleneck in the other Graph then you think @sovitek ?

I am really curious what the difference is between the two approaches (Graphs).
As the input is the same got Line and Reference?

ok guess it could work as well if we pull the points on plane

Hi,
I’m trying to get the length of a pipe using your method. My input is a pipe element. I take two opposite surfaces and use the Surface.Reference node to get their references. Then I place points at the center of each surface, create a line between those two points, and join the references into a single list. These are the two inputs in the final node you used, but my output is null element.

Could you please take a look and help me figure out what’s going wrong?

Hi @lovro.sibenik you could start create a new topic with all material you have so far, and what you have tried in dynamo, and i can take look..thx

Hi, I used the Dimension.ByReferences node in Dynamo. My problem is that I can’t get more than one dimension when I run my code. I have multiple lines and references as inputs, but I only get a single dimension as output.

try create a new topic, this one here already have a solution there fit the OP…cheers
