Position walls using dimensions

Accurate wall placement is critical in architectural design to ensure a building aligns with drawings, site conditions, and construction requirements. In Revit, dimensions are more than lines and annotations, they are parametric objects that can drive and control geometry. This video introduces how to use dimensions to position interior walls precisely, based on grid lines and reference drawings. Learn to set dimension references, edit values to move walls, and follow best practices for keeping models organized and accurate. Mastering this technique ensures design intent is maintained throughout your workflow.

After completing this video, you'll be able to:

  • Use dimensions to accurately position walls according to design intent and construction requirements.
  • Differentiate between dimensioning to wall faces, centerlines, and structural core to suite various modeling needs.
  • Apply best practices when placing dimensions.
