013 Dimensions List

Welcome to the demonstration of Bonus Tools – Dimension List.

The Dimension List tool allows you to:

• View all Dimensions in the project and linked files.
• Go to the view hosting a selected Dimension.
• Delete selected Dimensions.
• Identify Dimensions with text overrides that may pose risks to the project.

This tool is useful for maintaining clean, consistent documentation and avoiding accidental overrides.

Running the Tool

1. Navigate to the Bonus Tools tab and select Dimension List.

   

2. The Dimension List dialog will appear.

   

   The dialog displays all Dimensions in the project and linked files. The total Dimension count is shown at the bottom-right of the grid.

   Each row in the grid shows:

   • Model Title
   • Element ID
   • Dimension Type
   • Prefix (if any)
   • Dimension value
   • Suffix (if any)
   • Above/Below text
   • Override text (if any)
   • Parent View
   • Selection checkbox

   You can sort the grid by clicking any column header.
   If the Parent View is blank, the Dimension may reside in an in-place family or similar context.

For more details on common controls, see Common Tool Controls.

3. To navigate to the selected Dimension, click the Go to View button.

   If no view is open, you may see the message: “There is no open view…”

   

4. Click OK in the prompt. Revit will switch to the relevant view and highlight the selected Dimension(s).

   

   Note: If multiple Dimensions across multiple views are selected, only the last view in the selection list will be displayed.

5. To remove Dimensions, click the Delete Selected button. You will be prompted to confirm deletion.

   

6. If confirmed, the deletion results will display in the Output Dialog.
