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

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.

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.
