Product infoTRR Dimensions v. 1.0 is a plugin or addin for Autodesk Revit Architecture and Autodesk Revit

Suite applications. Therefore, we must have some of these tools installed in our computer.

TRR Dimensions v. 1.0allows to generate a continuous horizontal or vertical dimension which

dim all the elements crossed by a horizontal or vertical ray that touches at a designated point.

It's a faster way to create interior dimensions, filtering the categories of Revit's items we want

to see dimmed.

RequirementsThe tool works on this Revit and Windows (O.S.) versions:

Autodesk Revit 2013

Windows XP, Vista y Windows 7 (32/64 bits)

InstallThe Install wizard adds the plugin and the necessary files to the system.

To install the application on your computer, run the file TRRDimensions.msi. You will get the

following screen:

Tool AccessThe tool works properly if, first, you open in Revit the project you want to dim.

When you open it, you can access the application through menu Add-Ins > Tools tab> TRR

Dimensions

Views in which you can narrowIn Revit have many types of view of our model building (plans, elevations, sections, 3D, etc.).

The TRR Dimensions application allows ONLY limit plan views and section views. Therefore,

before running the application we have in Revit activated either plan view or a section view.

In the other view not possible to dimension with this application and tell us a message.

Commands

The TRR Dimensions application works as follows:

1. The user activates Revit a plan viewand / or section.

2. The user runs the application through

the Accessories menu> External

Tools> TRR Dimensions, showing the

form of the application.

3. The user selects the categories of

items to dim the currently active

window, unchecking those you do

not.

4. The user selects whether to generate

the horizontal dimension (X axis),vertical (Y-axis) or both at the same

time.

5. The user enters a Offset X and or Y

Offset Y to generate the dimension is

some distance from the designated

point.

6. Finally, the user selects the type of

dimension you want to generate

between 4 available

7. To start dim, click the Dimension

button on the form. The form ishidden and requested in Revit points

where each dimension must pass.

Each time you pick a point, a

dimension is generated according to

the specifications in the form.

8. Pressing the Escape key, redisplays

the form where the user can select

other categories, or types of

coordinate axes and further

delimiting or terminate the

application.

Selecting categories to dimRegardless of the commands you execute, the first thing the user must do is select which

categories of Revit elements wants to dim. To this end, shown in left form the following

categories:

In section view, the X axis also is horizontal and Y is vertical to the view:

Y-OffsetWhen Dimension on Axis X, if Y Offset value is 0, the dimension will pass the designated point.

X Axis

Offset Y=0

When Dimension on Axis X, if Y is positive Offset value greater than 0, the dimension will beabove the designated point the amount specified in Offset Y.

X Axis

Offset Y>0

When Dimension on Axis X, if the value is negative less than 0, the height will be below the

designated point the amount specified in Offset Y.

X Axis

Offset Y

TRR Dimensions 8

X-OffsetWhen Dimension on Axis X, if the X Offset value is 0, the dimension will pass the designated

point.

X Axis

Offset X=0

When Dimension on Axis Y, if X Offset is positive value greater than 0, the dimension is placed

to the right of the designated amount specified in Offset Y.

X Axis

Offset X>0

When Dimension on Axis Y, if X Offset is negative value less than 0, the dimension is placed on

the left of the specified amount designated point in Offset Y.

X Axis

Offset X

Dimension TypesThe user must also select the dimension type to generate. They provide four types of

dimension:

Full

Interiors

Thickness

Single

Ray HeightTo calculate the elements that should be included in the dimension, the application throws a

"ray" horizontal and / or vertical. This "ray" is located at the Z's eye level.

Sometimes, if the "ray" passes through a door or window, it no detects the wall and the wall is

not says. A solution in these cases is to increase the height of the "ray" to a value greater than

the height of the door. When then proceed to dim, the ray strikes the portion of the wall that

is above the door and the dimension is created.

NOTESEach interior dimension can be undid using "Undo" command in Revit.

Each interior dimension can be selected and dragged to place it in another point and avoid it

crosses elements, although using the Offset option in X and Y is better.

In a section view the ray will be located in the plane of the section.

If, in a sectional view, there is a column, but not cut by the section plane, the ray does not

intersect the column and not to dimension.
