Hi Sasha, thanks for the information. I, and all of my colleagues who've worked with me on Revit thus far have all determined that something must be done with showing the "wall finishes" on plan view drawings when running dimensions. In the construction industry (especially Residential) all dimensions are run to the framing members of walls, NOT to the final finishes. Framers and masons do not care about what finish is going to go on the walls. Also the overall width or depth of a house is determined by the foundation plan extents. The framing is located at these extents, and then the finishes of the walls are applied over the framing. To give accurate dimensions, these dimensions MUST go to the "Core" of the wall family.
There really needs to be a way to "turn off" the finishes in plan view so dimensions can go to the core lines (while in Course view). Even though many users of your site may not have expressed their approval for my post, EVERYONE I've spoken with in my industry and at events feel the same way as I do about this subject, and the importance of it. Revit is such a great program to use and adding a feature like this is "logical" and very practical for residential work. When printing plans, Course view is the only view that works since switching to higher detail will cause lines to blend together on the final print and look too thick. This is why having this solution is imperative to creating a better system for Residential BIM work.
Please, please discuss this again with your team and move forward on this idea.
