Dimension Grids & Walls – Quick Guide
🔹 What this tool does
The Dimension Grids & Walls tool automatically creates a clean dimension chain between multiple Grids and/or Walls in your active view.
Instead of placing dimensions manually one by one, the tool analyzes the selected elements, checks if they are parallel, finds the correct alignment direction, and creates a full dimension line with a single click.
It helps you:
Quickly dimension grids and walls in plans or sections
Ensure perfect alignment and spacing
Avoid manual mistakes or skipped elements
Speed up documentation significantly
🟦 How to Use the Tool
1️⃣ Select Grids and/or Walls
When you run the command, Revit will ask you to select elements:
“Select Grids and/or Walls to dimension.”
✔ You can select any combination
✔ Must be straight
✔ Must be parallel to each other
2️⃣ The Tool Validates Your Selection
The tool checks:
Are all grids/walls straight (linear)?
Are they parallel in the current view?
Are there at least two valid references?
If anything is invalid, a message will appear.
3️⃣ The Tool Determines the Dimension Position
It automatically calculates:
The top-most point of your elements
A safe offset above them (300 mm)
A long dimension line spanning the full set
No manual alignment needed.
4️⃣ Dimensions Are Created Automatically
A single continuous dimension line is placed between all selected grids and walls—using Wall Centerlines if enabled in your Dimension Type.
5️⃣ Done
A final message confirms that the dimension chain has been created.
