I am trying to change the dimensions to my drawing. ther are not locked and I have clicked on every wall around the walls that I am trying to change the dimensions to and I am still unable to change the dimensions. I have unlocked all the walls around the structure in an attempt to change the dimensions but I was unsuccessful. I have even tried the "activate dimension" feature. that did not work at all either. What should I do?

Have you tried to highlight the dimension, then click on the blue dot that says "Move witness line" when you hover over it. Click that dot and move the line where you want. You might have to stretch out the extension line in order to see that dot, it will be in the midddle of the extension line. HTH

First, dimensions in REVIT are parametric. You don't change the dimension, you move the item that is dimensioned. Second, when dimensioning, you have to make sure what you are dimensioning. Several things may exist at the same point so pay attention to what you are picking in the lower left corner of your screen. You may have to tab through several items to get what you want. This will be true at each dimension point. Third, assuming you have dimensioned correctly, click on the item (wall) you want to move. Then click "activate dimensions" on your options bar. Your dimension will change to blue and you can now change the dimension which will move your item (wall). This may seem ackward at first but after you have worked with it awhile, you will really like it.

When you are dimensioning to a wall, use your tab key to select what you want to dimension to - wall centerline, core centerline, face of wall....

thank you wwhub but have you noticed that I said by using the entire walls way ... your way is the normal way and it's not far away from the autocad way but the strength of revit that he can do this operation by one or two click by using the entire walls way and mark the intersecting walls option but the problem which is hapening with me that he doesn't pass the wall dimension and it's really not necessary to me and makes the plan crowded so do you have any idea to solve this problem??? thank you anyway my dear

Not sure what you are asking. Are you wanting to eliminate the wall thickness dimension in this string? If so, you can't.

Trytoh, when in dimension mode, check the options toolbar.
