Why do i get errors when trying to add these dimension members?

When I try to dimension the windows on my drawing I get errors and I don't know how to fix them. Here are two screenshots of the problem and here is the ipt and dwg file if you could take a look. Adding the red marked points as a new member doesn't work and I don't know how I can fix it. I get another error when trying to dimension that 3D sketched edge, see the image to the right.

Have you used derived method in your model files?

If you click the little + and expand the error what does it say? All those pink dimensions are missing geometry and will need to be taken care of before we can do anything else

Its only the red marked spots that are "missing" geometry because once I click "Accept" on the error when clicking on one of these spots as a new member, everything becomes pink so its only these spots that i marked with that have an issue. But none of them are missing geometry in the ipt file, I'm not sure what i should look for.

Did you change the model from solids to surfaces.

have you removed of changed geometry.

Then the dimension does not find the geometry by ID anynmore.

I'm seeing something a little different than in your screenshots, but I think it is similar to what you're going through. The dimensions along the length of the truck did not go pink for me, but when I place a dimension between the windows it does not appear. Also when I dimension the front of the "back seat" window or the back of the "front seat" window the dimension immediately loses its reference. No model change necessary, it happens at dimension creation. Is this what you're seeing?

I think so, the car itself was made through solid (extrusion) then i had to make the windows in another way so i created patches for the windows area to then use sculpt.
