Hi Dave, great tutorial as always. However, some discrepencies in your UI to mine that i just cannot figure out. I’m based in Toronto so it maybe a language setting or some nonsense like that:

1)I have no “create” tab - seems to be called ‘modify’ instead. Its not a problem, just a difference
2)Within ‘Modify’ the icon for reference plane is greyed out in the 3D view, plus my level grid isnt showing :/

These are prob complete noob sounding issues, but ive used revit 08 for while and this little detail in 2010 is driving me bananas! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I’m glad to see they’re going towards a sketch-like way of modeling..

In Revit Architecture 2009, you can dimension in 3d views. It has to be a non-perspective view, and you have to first pick the work plane to place the dimension on.

You guys are making me doubt myself I’ll check now

I could dimension in 3D in Revit Structure 2009 as long as the plane was set correctly as well. Did Revit Architecture 2009 not have this functionality?

right. It can make a surface right after you draw it. Thanks for pointing that out

By the way, you don’t have to click the create button to make an extrusion. You can check the “make surface from closed loop” box and extrude shapes by directly pushing and pulling the surface like in SketchUp.

Thanks David. Please do check if you can do it in the non conceptual environment as that would be a big deal.

yeah. As long as you set the plane you are dimensioning in. I’m not sure if this works in non conceptual modeling environment though. I can check

So, can we dimension in the regular 3d model now too? Perspective views?
