Revit Architecture now knows where each line of this geometry exists with respect to reference planes or
other sketch lines.
As you explicitly add locked dimensions, the automatic sketch dimensions go away in favor of the dimensions.
In the next image, explicit dimensions appear with locked padlocks.
Dimensioning with Families
Families in Revit Architecture are not parametric until you explicitly add labeled dimensions to them. By
adding labeled dimensions, you are creating new parameters for the family.
Labeling Dimensions
1 Click Modify and highlight the dimension text.
2 Right-click the dimension, and click Edit Label.
3 Select a name from the drop-down menu or choose <Add parameter...> and create a new
parameter. See
Family Types on page 366.
Alternate Procedure for Labeling
1 Click Modify and select the dimension text.
2 On the Options Bar, choose a name from the Label menu, or create a new parameter. See Family
Types on page 366.
