Hide dimensions less than a value without rounding?

I know I can use a unicode separator character to give a blank dimension but we often dimension window schedules to the inside of the reveals and use a secondary witness line to further indicate this is the case. 

 

Obviously doing a bunch of modifications on multiple dimension lines to hide the small reveal thicknesses takes time when you have dozens of windows. It would be nice to know if there was a way to use a formula in the dimension tools rounding box, or any other method of hiding dimensions less than ~20mm without affecting the main dimension.

I would show an enlarged dimension legend to show a dimension pointing to the inside of a reveal and note is as the typical.

pretty unique query..

 

On the other hand, have you tried dimensioning entire wall, with options

of opening, wall and grid intersection... takes a click to get these dimensions..

 

dimensioning correctly and picking elements required seems right way to do it...

Yeah, we have this too. The powers that be have decreed that we also need the double dim on the window/door elevations, too.

Those dimension settings aren't available in an elevation. I tried it on a plan and it doesn't pick up the inside jambs. I could rebuild the window family/s to have the reveal line up with the opening, but it still doesn't easily let us output the double dimension at the reveal without all the fussing around we do now.

You may use Dynamo to override dimensions with value less than a certain threshold with a dot. I don't think Unicode Characters are accepted (hang on me when I tried).
