ETIT Dimention by formula or parameter

[hagay.e]

Hello,

in order to prepare selling drawings i was asked to reduce all dimentions between wall by 5 centimeters. 

I have tried to use the "label" based on a global parameter with no success. 

do you have any idea how it can be done?

Thanks Hagay

I have no idea what you are talking about.  Reduce the dimension between walls?  Then move your walls closer together.  You don't alter the dimensions. That's just plain wrong.

Make the walls 50mm thicker.

Okay, maybe I'm misunderstanding you.  Is this what you are after?

Hi, thanks for reply, 

I will try to explain the issue better. 

1. There are Sheets for construction with the dimentions as were planned be the Architect

2. There are Sheets for customers that buy the appartment. 

3. During actual building, their might be diviations form the plan/drawing

4. In order to be on the safe side the selling company wants to get drawings with 5 cm reduction of every dimention that will be singed off with the buyer/customer. 

5. So I have to present in this drawings dimentions but not the real\planned ones. 

6. I thought to use the "label" with global parameter for that but it does not work

Thanks, Hagay

Export Revit sheets to Autocad and edit it manually. You will have two independent drawings: "honest" in Revit to construction and "fake" in Autocad for buyers and lawyers

Thanks, 

Understand .....

But .... hope to find the way to do it in Revit by a parameter of family....

There's no easy way to do that. Most of the times, the seller has a clause in the purchase contract describing dimensions are ± xx mm or something like that. I would put such text on my drawings.

So, you’re not saying that the As-Bulit wall spacing is actually 5 cm less that those Planned and Permitted (top screenshot). What you’re saying is that the wall spacing dimensions shown on the Marketing Literature needs to be 5 cm less.  I imagine you are doing this for legal purposes.  If so, why commit to any fixed dimension at all on the Marketing Literature?  Seems crazy to me that you would make all the correct dimensions read the wrong dimensions. Safer not to show the customer any wall-to-wall dimensions.  If you must show wall-to wall dimensions, then insert the old “±” symbol and make use of labels that say “Approximate” (bottom screenshot).  Then include a bunch of small-print legal mumbo-jumbo disclaimers into the footer of the literature.

It also seems like just having a text disclaimer would be far easier than altering a bunch of dimensions...

It is just the way it is done in our country... I agree it's really stupid, but it's an industry standard and they won't budge on this subject 😑 If you have any ideas how to do this, I'm facing the same issue for our company template file...
