Unparallel Line Dimension in Revit 2022

Hi,

 

I am trying to modeling a building from a DWG file in Revit 2022. 

 

I want to measure the dimension of the site boundary, but the four sides of the site are not parallel.

 

May I ask how to measure the dimension of the site in Revit? The screenshot of the site shown as below:

Tag the Property with a Property Line Tag the reports the line segment's length.  There's one in the OOTB Library under Annotations/Civil folder.

Since this has more applications that just property lines, you can also press TAB at the end points of lines to get that point, then do the same for another line, to get the dimensions between two points.

Hi @mhiserZFHXS and @barthbradley ,

 

Thank you for your reply. It is really helpful.

 

I use the method below and it is really useful.

 

Place a "model line", and measure the dimension of the "line".

If the dimensioned Model Line is drawn between two non-parallel Property Lines, then what value is that dimension?  It seems arbitrary.  Does it relate to some construction?
