Hey everyone, are you tired of having to switch to your 2D views every time you need to add dimensions to your Revit models? Well, I've got a game-changing tip for you! In this quick tutorial, I'll show you how to add dimensions directly in your 3D views in Revit. Let's get started!
Step 1: Open your 3D view in Revit. This could be a floor plan, a ceiling plan, or any other 3D view that you want to add dimensions to.
Step 2: Go to the 'Annotate' tab on the ribbon at the top of the screen. Click on the 'Align' tool in the Dimensions panel.
Step 3: Select the two points where you want to add the dimension. For example, you can select the endpoints of a wall to add a linear dimension, or you can select two corners of a room to add an angular dimension.
Step 4: Once you've selected the points, Revit will display the dimension line in your 3D view. You can move and adjust the dimension line by dragging the grips, just like you would in a 2D view.
Step 5: Repeat the process to add more dimensions as needed. You can add linear dimensions, aligned dimensions, radial dimensions, and angular dimensions to accurately communicate the spatial relationships in your design.
And that's it! With these simple steps, you can easily add dimensions to your 3D views in Revit, making your architectural presentations more visually engaging and informative. Whether you're working on a building information modeling (BIM) project or creating design proposals, adding dimensions in 3D views can help you effectively communicate your design intent.
So, next time you're working on your Revit models, don't forget to take advantage of this powerful feature to elevate the quality of your architectural designs. Thanks for watching, and happy modeling!
