Measuring in Revit in the 3D view is being improved from version to version - but you can easily reach the limits if you want to measure a diagonal, for example, or simply measure the distance between any two points.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the 3D view does not provide us with the \"Measure between two references\" tool, nor can we freely place model lines in 3D space and read off their length. So what can we do?<\/p>\n

The answer lies in a simple adaptive line!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"auxiliary<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the simplest case, a family with two adaptive points connected by a line and a parameter for the distance is sufficient.<\/p>\n

You can imagine my family here<\/a> download - I think the principle is quite simple, if anyone needs instructions on how to create the family, just let me know (preferably right below in the comments).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"auxiliary<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This line can then be used to pick up any two points in the model and read off their distance using the parameter. It would of course also be possible to evaluate such auxiliary lines in component lists.<\/p>\n

If you think further, you can of course also map more complex routes consisting of several points or even areas with the help of adaptive families - it's worth thinking \"out of the box\"!<\/p>\n

Do you have any other exciting \"workarounds\" or little tips that make life with Revit easier?<\/p>\n
