At a minimum- Fix faces of core so they only snap to faces of core.
Construction drawings 101- When creating dimensions use the faces of the core of the walls so the framers can snap the lines and shoot the studs or tracks to the floors. Nice clean to the whole 1" dimensions ideally.
Problem: Revit "Faces of core" Dimension filter is broken. It should, as advertised, only snap to "faces of core" but fails as it snaps to everything in the wall types. This can be a real pain if 2 layers of 5/8" gyp pus an entire corridor wall 1-1/4" into a corridor and now the corridor doesn't meet ADA specs and fails inspection.
Other dimension filter problems:
Wall Centerlines- Fails for Linked files; works as expected- only snaps to centerlines.
Wall Faces- Fails - also snaps to centerlines
Center of Core- (Will it fail for linked files too?) - Otherwise works correctly
Faces of core - Epic fail! Snaps to everything.
Autodesk Revit Dev team - if you want to go the extra mile:)
Allow (custom) sets of snap hierarchies based on the following:
- Exterior face of finish
- Exterior face of core
- Interior face of core
- Interior face of finish
And really fancy:
Top, Bottom, Left, right (Normal direction to "Plan North") applicable to the above as a modifier
Once the first line is picked or tabbed, it cycles to the second, the third and so on.
Some sample sets:
- Finish Faces
- Exterior Face of finish
- Interior face of finish
- Layout Dims Tops and Rights
- Right Face of core
- Top of Face of core
- All Out to In
- Exterior face of finish
- Exterior face of core
- Interior face of core
- Interior face of finish
- All
- * (Asterisk for all remaining - None specified - use tab to select)
- Clear Dimension left to right top to bottom
- Right face of finish
- Left face of finish
- Bottom face of finish
- Top face of finish
