Refining a layout with temporary dimensions
- [Instructor] In this video, we're going to refine the layout of the column grid, and we're going to do that using temporary dimensions. So often what you'll do in Revit is place things in rough locations first and then you'll come back and refine those locations once you know more information to be able to do so precisely. I like to call this sketch then modify. So I've sketched in all the grid lines in those approximate locations, and now I'm going to modify those based on the actual dimension that I want them to have. Primarily I'm going to rely on temporary dimensions, in this video, to do that, but you could certainly use the move command, or there's some other techniques that we could use that are just as valid, but I like temporary dimensions because they're quick and easy to use in most cases. So let me start with grid A here, and a temporary dimension is so called because it appears and disappears temporarily. So when an object is selected, notice that down here, a dimension…
