How can I move multiples objects with Dimensions

[jysnbnvdz]

I know that if you want to move an object with more precision you can make a dimension, then click on the object and then enter the measure in the blue text's dimension, but if you choose more than one object you can't edit the blue text's dimension, how can I do to move multiples objects with dimensions?

[ToanDN]

Do you mean moving them al the same distance?  If so, place a dimension string to all elements and lock each dimension in the string, except for the one you want to adjust.

Sounds like you may have a hidden constraint. Reveal Constraints and remove it.

You can modify the dimension value even when you select multiple objects.

Do you have any error messages?

thank you so much, but i want to move all the objects that i have selected

[jysnbnvdz]

thank you so much, it seems the problems was a restricted dimension

Hello,

So I have been able to do this for quite some time but recently it's not letting me modify dimensions (permanent or temporary) when multiple objects are selected. Did I mess up a setting some where? I am using 2024.1.

Thank you,

Austin

revit 2025 here and it is not allowing me to do it as well

found the fix for move multiple objects with dimension when it is not working. You need to "Activate the dimensions".  See attached

Thank you. Good to know Activate Controls also changes how moving multiple objects with dimension lines is experienced.

Thank you!  This is the answer I was looking for.
