A new entry is inserted in the list box, with a default name highlighted ready to edit. Click the New Named Group icon (far left). The Named Groups dialog box opens. From the Utilities menu, choose Named Groups.
When you click the button you are offered some choices:Depending on the project you can choose the centerline or core of the entire wall or the core. ComparePaths.zip.On the Annotate ribbon, the first button is the Aligned and it is the one you will use the most. Compare a UNC path with a Drive path using VBA.
By selecting the window the dimensions on either side get smaller and turn blue. This is where the power is.In the Properties box of the Dimension, there are three display options Value, Equality Text and Equality Formula.A method of getting precise placement of windows is to use the Dimensioning tool. Each dimension has a lock and the overall string has EQ with a line through it. Picking the Entire Wall gives you an Auto Dimensions Option Box with some more choices.After clicking the wall the dimensions are blue.
Select the string of dimensions and a small lock appears below each. You can use decimal feet for the Civil side or millimeters for international projects.When you have all your windows in the proper place you can lock them in place to make it hard to inadvertently move them. Change the value and the window moves.In the Properties Box, there are many different formatting options but one I find useful when different trades are using the same drawing is the alternate dimensions. Select the dimension you want to adjust and you get a box you can edit.
This only covered the Entire Wall option of the Aligned Dimension. For example, in this corner, the window can’t be moved but the wall can.This is just the tip of the iceberg on Dimensioning in Revit. It gives you the option to remove constraints or to cancel.Removing constraints allows the object to move and unlocks the dimension.If an object has two dimensions attached they both have to be unlocked for it to be moved.
