Dimension text in line with dimension

[LisaDrago]

So - is it possible to have a dimension style setup that shows the dimension text inline with the dimension - without having to move it?

I have been looking but cannot seem to do it - is it possible and I am just missing it?

Thanks!

Revit file is attached if someone wants to explore Inline Annotation Family to use like Dimension..

Inline Dimension using Line based Family.

Hi  j0hnp,

Sorry to wake up an old topic, i know th center text node is in the rhythm package, but have you tried making one that works with metric systems?

Kind regards

I have not had a chance. Unfortunately, I am using the Dynamo translation
methods for geometry and that means that while Revit (under the hood) still
thinks in imperial, the Dynamo translation methods will use metric. The
node would probably need to be refactored to only use the Revit API methods
available to us.

Ok – Thanks anyways, you have done a great job with Rhythm in general 😊

[j0hnp]

Thanks so much! Let me see if I can take a look at that node. I have a few
minor updates to be made and can add that to the list.

That's awesome j0hnp, if you need help testing, let me know.
(Notice, that im a Dynamo newbie)

@Anders_HMservice Would you mind testing the latest version for me on a metric file?

 

[Anders_HMservice]

j0hnp - Sure, what version is it, and where can I get it?

[Anders_HMservice]

Nevermind, i got it 🙂

It works fine on single dimensions, but not if there are more dimensions in one string. 

Attached screenshots.

Okay, cool. It has never worked for multi segment dimensions. But, with it
working on imperial + metric now, I can try to implement that too.

Thank you @j0hnp you are awesome!

This is going to be a timesaver for me.

Hi, 

this doesn't seem to work for me. It goes above the line but not in the center.

Any tips?

[Anders_HMservice]

Hi @j0hnp,

Again, thanks for your great work, hope all i well.

Just fyi. theres a problem when using the dimension center on dimensions in sections/elevations, its doesnt center the text. On plans it still works like a charm.

If this is only on metric, i do not know.

Kind Regards

Anders

@Anders_HMservice  @j0hnp  Where do I get this Dynamo code at for the Imperial version?

so silly (being polite) that Revit, which cost a fortune, cant do straight up and easily what we have done forever and with almost every package available in preparing drawings
