dimensions across view breaks

Why do dimensions spanning across view breaks in sections or elevations become unmodifiable?  The drag text button can't be picked and the text can't be picked either so you can't modify it.

It works fine here.  Have you audited this project recently?  Does it work in a new from template project?

I created a blank from template project like you suggested.  I made two walls and section view of them.

 

I placed a dimension between the walls and then broke the view into two sections.  I could still move the dimension text and change it.

 

After I drag one of the view regions I can no longer drag the text or change it.

That seems odd.  I just dragged the regions and was still able to affect my dimension.  Are you all up to date with service packs, point releases and such for your version of Revit?

i there:

 

I’ve experienced this issue before in earlier versions of Revit, with 2016 this is no longer the case.

 

The way I did manage to work around it, was to pinpoint the location where the dimension text need to be placed (once the section breaks are incorporated), eliminate the breaks,  finalize the edits to the dimension string, and then proceed to re-do the section breaks.

 

Glad that with Revit 2016 you are able to select and edit the dimension without the workaround.

 

Feel your pain, hope this helps.Dimensions.PNG

Your method works but I've found that I can reapply modifications to the text if I drag the view breaks back to their original parting distance.  Undoing the break isn't necessary.  Then all you have to do is drag the view breaks back together.  It's as if the space the text controls sit in no longer exists when the view breaks are close together so even if you can see them you can't touch them.

This issue seems to be back. Working in Revit 2020.2 and having this issue now. The same goes for level markers. Cannot modify or select.

Duplicate View as Dependent, Uncrop the Dependent view, Edit dimension.

or

Duplicate View as Dependent, Unclrop the Dependent view, drag the dim text a bit the you can edit it in the broken view.

Also looking for solution in 2022.1, one that works with details views that can't be duplicated as dependents. Tried several things found here, none work.

- Duplicate the Detail View with Detailing, unbreak the copied view

- Place dim on the copied view, drag dim text away from where the break would be

- Copy the dim and paste align to the original broken up Detail view

 

or,

 

- Place an Ordinate dim directly on the broken up Detail view

- Drag the Ordinate dim's text a bit (because Ordinate dim's text is near an witness instead in the middle, so you will not have any problem doing so)

- Change the Ordinate dim to Linear and the text is still accessible

Still a problem in 2023... have to "un-break" the viewport, edit your dimension, "re-break" the viewport and reset to previous location (gosh forbid it should just remember what the previous location was).

I am having the same issue in Revit 2024.3.

Revit also rotates the dimension text, with or without any edits, when I PDF the drawing!?
