Best way to edit and move walls on a measured survey?

Hello everyone, my firm is starting to dip its toes into Revit. I worked on a measured survey of a warehouse/office space. The office space was rather large and intricate at times, so multiple trips were taken to measure, re-measure, and verify. My question is, what is the best way to move walls or edit them without messing up all other dimensions. My thoughts were locking the dimensions I want to stick with. What are your thoughts?

Do NOT lock the dimensions.

Pin the walls instead.

Almost sounds like you are modifying an existing structure? Are you?  If so, may I suggest phasing construction in Revit. Might be a smarter workflow and good way to safeguard the as-built dimensions you've pulled.   

 

FWIW

Well we went in there an measured the existing for potential phasing later. But imagine you have what you think are the right dimensions on the plan, but after verifying your measurements, some dimensions are wrong . Moving one wall would make the dimension change and the next and the next and etc.

Ah I see, just for my personal knowledge. Why would you want to pin the wall and not lock the dimensions?

Got it. 

 

You may want to disallow join conditions at all walls until you get them laid out accurately.

-Locking dimensions is a bit counter-intuitive. It locks a "constraint" of an element, such as a wall--to another element,

such as a door. If you want the door to always stay a certain dimension from the end of a wall, a locked dimension can work.

-But in your example, pinning the walls is better. Although it is not a "permanent" locking in place, it does not allow moving a pinned object without a warning.

-Locking dimensions can lead to a lot of unexpected errors when someone moves an element that has "locked dimensions" on it--all of those elements will move, and end up being in the incorrect location.
