    Default Oblique dimensions

    Can revit do oblique dimensions? When we detail up our staircases we normally add one dimension to show the height of the handrail relative to the pitch line.

    I hate to say it, but I could do it in autocad la la la la la.

    Anyone know how to do it in revit?

    Thanks,

    Max.

    I just gave it a try and it seems as though you can't do this in Revit. All I can say is that if one of the other guys can't figure it out then it's definately one for the wish list.

    I normally do it as a vertical dim from a tread to ther handrail by placing a small line or ref plane parallel to the tread to dim to.
