Conceptual Mass

[murzo]

Sorry for bad english
Im a new user in revit and whenever i create a comceptual mass it does not show the temporart dimensions when creating lines.
When i first tried to create a conceptual mass it shows dimension but then when i started creating another one it does not show temporary dimensions anymore even if i go to adittional settings and go to temporary dimensions and choose any of the choices nothing happens
It seems that ive changed some settings when creating conceptual mass

Im just new revit and i dont know how to fix or to use some commands
Pls someonr help me

Thanks

You need to post a print screen for a proper answer....in principle there is no option which could switch them off but there are many reasons which cause them not to show...

ONE POSSIBILITY

If the above is the case...then you need to know that 2D geometeries are delimited by 2 temporary dimension , with the exeption of a circle (1 td)...and 3D elements  are delemited by 3 temporary dimensio, with the exceptions of a spherical shapes (1 td), cylinderical (2) & conical shapes (2)

Example of 2D elements (Same apply for 3D elements)

• if you select a 2D element (example: a rectangle) it will have 2 temporary dimensions
  1. If you convert 1 of those to permanent or if you just place 1 perm. dimension along one side then reselect the rectangle => there will be 1 temp dim showing
  2. If you place 2 permanent dimensions along a triangle length and width then reselect it => no temporary dimensions will show

So when working in conceptual mass environment and you start placing perm. dims and length parameters; less or no temp. dims will show

SECOND POSSIBILITY

When your 2D and/or 3D object is not orthogonal to the coordinates system...No temporary dimenssions will show

THIRD POSSIBILITY

If you select more than one object/geometry (even if they are ortho) temporary dimensions will not show

Thank you for the possibilities you gave
I think its just on the 3d snapping
I dont know how it works and maybe i accidentaly checked it and don know what happens when i create a line it has 2 big solid vircle on each side and no dimensions but then i unchecked the 3d snapping it came back
