I have searched the forums but perhaps I am not using the correct terms, looked for it in help and have done countless internet searches but can not find how to break crossing dim lines or change the setting to turn on a setting that does this automaticaly. The closest I found wsa 2005 post at AUGI that doesn't even exist anymore. Anyone want to help a novice?

Hi, I haven't heard this request before so please clarify if i'm wrong: You are want to dimension with "gap to element" and when witness lines of perpendicular/crossing dimension strings cross you want there to be a break made in the witness line by 1 or both the dimension strings? If so, then this isn't possible and I'd imagine if it was it could start to make the drawing be a little confusing... Anyway, HTH

AUGI is having their annual vote for user preferences right now and this was one of the wish list items.

I'm still learning Revit Terminology so if a "witness line" is the same thing as an extension line than yes that is what I want. And yes it is the feature that is similar to the autocad "dim break" feature. Thanks for the quick responses. I have found a work around for the time being. Though based of the threads I have read, some of the "I know everything about Revit" crowd who have a tendancy to smash those of us who do not know much would probably smash my workaround. I shorten the extension line and then add a line // to it attached to what I am dimensioning. I was taught to never cross dim lines and when two extension lines cross you have to break one and when it is done more than once on a drawing that you should keep them consistant.

I found a work around for crossing dims though not extremely efficient. Shorten the extension line to one side of the crossed dim line, create a Detail line with "thin line" and extend it to line work.

intruiging, this is a drafting practice with which i am not familiar. it seems that with the present software, that creating a drafting line would be the most effective way to approach that objective.
