DFrame module 14 · Annotate
Dimensions
for Revit.
Create repeatable Revit dimensions from named family references across selected views with controlled documentation rules.
Included in the complete DFrame toolsetProblem and approach
Why Dimensions exists.
Dimensions uses named family references to create repeatable dimension strings in selected Revit views. This turns a highly repetitive documentation step into a predictable rule-based operation.
Teams can align dimension output with family design and project standards, reducing manual clicks while keeping the underlying references explicit.
Input to result
Dimensions, step by step.
Three decisions that move the task from source information to a result ready for review.
- 1.
Select families, references and target views
- 2.
Configure dimension type and placement rules
- 3.
Preview and create the dimension strings
Controls
What the module lets you inspect.
Faster, more consistent Revit dimensions based on controlled and reusable family references.
Use named family references for dimensioning
Use explicit named references in approved families as stable dimension targets instead of relying on manual point selection.
Create dimensions across selected views
Generate the required dimension strings in multiple target views from one reviewed family and view selection.
Apply repeatable documentation conventions
Keep dimension type, placement and reference strategy consistent across repeated components and documentation packages.
Best suited for
Who benefits most.
- Teams documenting repeated components
- Family authors defining reference strategies
- Engineers standardising dimensions
