General Usage Instructions
Navigate to the Add-In.
To use the FORMlab Dimensionator Revit Add-In:
- Open a Revit document.
- Navigate to the FORMlab tab.
- Click the Show/Hide button to toggle the Dimensionator panel. This panel can be docked anywhere in Revit or used as a floating window.
- If you do not have a valid license, a license window will pop up. If you're eligible for the free 30-day trial, the license will be automatically filled in.
Create Dimensions
Draw Detail Lines - Create one or more detail lines in a 2D floor plan. Select and Generate - Select the detail lines and click Create Dimensions to generate dimension lines for each selected detail line. Source Line Retention - Use the Delete source lines checkbox to control whether the original detail lines are kept or automatically removed after dimensions are created.
Adjust Settings
Customize your dimensioning with the following options:
- Delete Source Lines - Remove the original detail lines after dimensioning.
- Minimum Wall Width - Set a minimum wall width for dimensioning. Walls below this threshold will not be dimensioned.
- Combine Walls - Enable/disable to treat walls in close proximity as a single element, dimensioning only the outermost sides.
- Minimum Wall Distance - Set the threshold distance for walls to be treated as a single element.
- Include Linked Files - Include/exclude elements from linked files.
- Include Categories - Only elements from enabled categories will be dimensioned if they intersect the selected detail lines.
Verify Dimensions
Select a dimension or dimensions and click Select References to highlight the referenced elements. This allows for easy inspection/validation of the dimensions, regardless of whether they were created manually or with the add-in.
