How To Put Dimensions On A Floor Plan In Revit 2024

Revit is a powerful BIM (Building Information Modeling) software that allows architects and engineers to create 3D models of buildings. One of the most important aspects of any floor plan is the dimensions, which show the size and layout of the space. In this article, we will show you how to put dimensions on a floor plan in Revit 2024.

There are two main types of dimensions in Revit: linear dimensions and angular dimensions. Linear dimensions measure the distance between two points, while angular dimensions measure the angle between two lines.

To add a linear dimension, first select the two points that you want to measure. Then, click on the "Dimension" tab in the ribbon and select the "Linear" tool.

Linear Dimensions

You can also add a dimension string to a linear dimension by clicking on the "Dimension String" button in the ribbon. The dimension string will show the value of the dimension, as well as any additional information that you want to include.
