Hi
I have a file with several Dimension Tick Marks and many with the same name. I could not find a solution for finding and deleting the duplicate Dimension Tick Marks in Revit or Dynamo.
Could you please guide me on what to do?

I do appreciate your time and help in advance.

Regards,
Farshid

I am not sure what this means… can you provide a screenshot or sample file?

Hi @jacob.small ,
I am not home today so I can’t send a screenshot tonight, But if you select a dimension line and from the properties click on Edit Type then you can find the Tick Marks.
I Hope this helps, if not let me know and I will send the screenshot tomorrow.

Likely done by an Element.SetParameterValueByName node. Be sure to pass the element type not the dimension instance for the element. The value likely needs to be an element.

Hi @jacob.small
I am sorry for my late response, but I got busy and completely forgot about this. Here is a screen recording to showcase the issue.

Before you can delete them you will need to remove them from use.

Find the parameter value of the dimension type to control the tick marks, and set them all to one version. The rest should disappear fist time you purge unused.
