aligned dimension for angled wall

[Anonymous]

I'm very new to revit and following the No Experience Required book step by step. So far so good but I'm now not able to create a dimension of an angled wall. When I click the tab button several times to get the little square grip as the book says, it cycles through many options except that square grip, which I need. I have the following selected:

Annotate Tab

Aligned

Wall Faces

Individual References

I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Please help.

Hi Viveka, thank you so much for the screencast, I had the same issue and managed to place the dimension thanks to your instructions. My question is, in what situations would we find the option to pick "entire walls" useful? Are you able to post a screencast showing it in action? I have drawn lots of walls, straight and angled, and tried to use that option but it never seems to work. (I'm using Revit 2019)
