Editing a dimension style to be able to calculate certain values.

Hello all.

 

 

I was wondering if it's possible to edit a dimension style in such a way that i can add a formule in the field under a dimension.

 

I want it to show the measured distance but also need to show how many bricks and joints are in the measured wall.

I hope this is not really vague. English is not my first language so i dont know how to describe it.

But with brick walls we calcuclate the amount of bricks+perp joints to see if there are no odd sized bricks needed.

See below for what im trying to get..

I believe it is called brick spacing by the way.

Not in the Dimension annotation itself no...Those are text fields you cant add a formula there..

- Either do it in a schedule using calculated values

- Or can use Dynamo to calculate and override the text values or write to sh.param  to tag with 

- Or Create a family with Length and/or Height which you can drag and lock to the elevation edges and display that info on the elevations (had something similar for room tiling)

I don't believe that you can do that with a standard dimension, but you can certainly make a line based family that will calculate that and even look like the dimension if you wish.

Create a line based detail family with nested generic annotation labels to show the length and the calculated value.
