Refining a layout with temporary dimensions

- [Voiceover] In this movie, we're going to talk about refining our layout to make it more precise. Now generally speaking, in Revit, what you typically do is you lay out elements very roughly, at first, in the approximate locations, and then you come back and refine their positions to make them more precise. I like to call this sketch then modify. So we're going to sketch out the shape that we want, and then come back, and using a variety of techniques, modify the placement of those elements to refine them and make it a more precise layout. In this example, we're going to use the grids that we laid out in the previous movie. And the first technique that I want to show you to do this progressive refinement, or this sketching and modifying, is temporary dimensions. Now temporary dimensions are so-called because when you select an element on-screen, and I'm going to select Grid A here as an example, you will see a series of dimensions appear, referencing that element to other nearby…
