Overall Dimension from Reference

Hi everyone,

Would it be possible to create an overall dimension string from an existing dimension string?

In this example dynamo is measuring from the middle of the walls when I need it to measure from the outside of the wall. This might change depending on the application so that’s why I’m thinking that if I dimension the first string then dynamo can just give me an overall dimension based on that.

Thanks =)

You can get wall core references (there’s a node for it, might be in a custom package, GeniusLoci maybe from memory?), and use those for dimensioning, you can then determine which references are the outer extremities and use those to make a second dimension for the overall dim. I’ve not done this for walls, but have used similar logic to get panel dims as well as overall dims for curtain wall elevations.
