Revit 2008, 2009 (havent done a project in 2010 enough to experience this problem)
has anyone ever noticed that after working on a project for 3+ months (estimating as this is when it occurred on my current project, but have had it happen before on projects that i have been working on for a while) that some dimensions do not make sense?
e.g. you have a chain of grids that show 50' - 0" even, but the dimension of the first and last dimensions is 250' - 0 1/256" (this is a problem for any element type - grid, line, wall, window, door, etc)
this is using a dimension string for
"Units Format" rounding "nearest 1/256"
this becomes a problem as i am sometimes able to fix it and sometimes not able to.
[fixes]
if i move some of the grids back and forth randomly (not typing in dimensions) then move it back so that it snaps to another object (3d modeled component, drafted line, etc) it will fix and all lines will then shown up correctly. from the example above, each pair of grids still show 50' - 0" and the overall dimension then shows 250' - 0"
[not fixes]
i attempt what i did before, but regardless there is always a 1/256" dimension wrong.
at first i think its just the dimension is to the wrong item, but when i do it again in another view and or creating a new view string at the same or different scale. and this is done with "thin lines" enabled (or as i call it "no line-weight" so its not like i am accidentally clicking on the wrong item time after time.)
***
does anyone have this problem or am i just crazy?
if you need a picture of what i am talking about, i can attach it.
thanks,
