Temp dimensions don't snap to F.O.C.

Temp dimensions don't snap to F.O.C.

Just starting out with Revit here, using 2018.

 

I have my core defined, like 2x4 or 2x4 plus 1/2" plywood.

Temp dims setting to F.O.C.

 

When I first create a wall the temp dims will be created along with it and will snap to F.O.C. All is well.

But if I drag a temp dim to a different wall (same core) to set the dim from there, it will only go to F.O.F. or center.

Is there a way to change that to where I can drag a temp dim to a new wall and get it to snap to F.O.C.?

 

Thanks,

GChapp

You can drag some of the blue dot to a different object and will snap to that (if allowed).

HERE more information about temp dims.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

Yes, I know that.

Issue is that in some cases it won't allow snapping temp dims to the face of core. Identical walls, but one it will snap to face of core, on another it will snap to face of finish (or center of wall).

 

It does not seem to be consistent.

Temp dimension TO the selected wall should snap to FOC.  Temp dimension OF the selected wall does not.

Hi @gccdesign

 

I just wanted to follow up here, any progress on this issue?
Please mark any posts that help with "Accept as Solution" and thanks!

Well, as far as I can tell from the answers, Revit only snaps according to it's snap to face of core settings on the selected object. On non-selected objects the temp dims will only snap to the finish faces and the center.

So that may be the answer. I would not call it a solution. (Unless I'm missing something here).

 

If you choose to set Revit to snap temp dims to the core, I would think that snapping to core is what you want.

I don't know why it would be made to snap to core on some things, not others.

 

If I was president, it would snap to core when set to snap to core, and snap to finish when set to snap to finish, period.

I can follow up with the development team.

YEA REALLY IF THIS PROGRAM ONLY USED ONE SET OF DIMENSIONS THAT WERE PARAMETRIC, AND YOU COULD SET THE WHOLE PROJECTS SNAP SETTINGS ie F.O.C. OR F.O.F. THAT WOULD BE NICE. IM LEARNING THE PROGRAM RN THO, CENTER OF WALL AS THE AUTO SETTING FOR THE EDITABLE SNAPS I THINK IS FRUSTRATING LIKE WHY WOULD YOU EVER NEED TO KNOW THAT IN THE HISTORY OF BUILDING WITH CONVENTIONAL LUMBER AND WHY IS THAT THE AUTO SETTING?

Mike O'Donnel (did I get that right?),

 

I did a lot of construction in my younger days, and have built many a house where the architect chose to run his dimensions to the center of the walls. Just the preference of the architect. Sometimes they want to center things to a grid or whatever. That was residential.

Also in commercial a lot of times the building is laid out on a gridwork of steel or concrete columns, and things often get centered on that gridwork.

 

But these days for residential I mostly see dimensions going to face of finish.  Sometimes face of core.

It's really just whatever the architect prefers or is used to.

I'm very late to this party, but was having the same issue today.  After some poking around, I found that turning on the "common edges" sub-category in the Visibility Graphics allowed for the dimensions string to tab to the core's face.  Hope this helps someone.
