What it does
Dimensionator creates Revit dimensions from detail lines and identifies the intersected elements as references. Filters control the element categories included, while a toggle manages elements in linked files. The add-in can rearrange dimension labels, inspect references attached to existing dimensions, and combine several drawn lines into one dimension. It works in plan, elevation, and section view types.
Key capabilities
from the Autodesk App Store listingDraw-based dimensioning
Draw detail lines across target elements and let the add-in determine the dimension references.
Element filters
Choose which element categories are included in dimensioning.
Linked file support
Include or exclude elements from active linked files.
Text rearrangement
Reposition overlapping dimension values automatically.
Dimension validation
Select the elements connected to an existing dimension for inspection.
Stacked dimensions
Join several drawn lines into one dimension according to a left, right, top, or bottom stacking direction.
External wall mode
Create grouped dimensions for exterior system walls using bounding, exterior-face, or interior-and-exterior-face options.
Keyboard shortcuts
Assign Revit shortcuts to the add-in's dimension creation and reference selection actions.
How it compares
Glyph automates dimensioning alongside view and sheet creation, tagging, sheet packing, and configurable task bundles. Dimensionator focuses on line-based dimension creation, reference selection, dimension checking, linked-file elements, and exterior wall dimension sets.
