Hey guys and gals. I'm having some trouble getting my dimensions to work properly with rounding. I have the rounding set to 1/256" but revit still has some problems with the slight errors adding up (see attached image with one dimension off by 1/256" even through the total should be a round dimension). Sometimes I can type a dimension value into the box, but with many dimensions that doesn't work. Does anybody have tips for how to make it so the actual measurement is exactly what is show if you cant type it in, or a way to turn of rounding completely so I can see exactly what the offset is and change it. I guess I could get rid of the 1/256" offset displaying by turning the rounding down to 1/128" but I would really prefer to just have some accurate dimensions.
Cheers!

Well I found one possible solution for this question myself. I can use some lines generally aligned to the actual walls and such I want dimensioned, then I dimension the lines. Dimensions on parrallel lines can always be easily edited by typing in a value, so I can be sure that their measurements are as accurate as revit gets. Then I move, align, or scream at the walls and such until they are aligned exactly to where the lines are. Seems to be working so far *finger crossed*
Cheers!

I generally have a super accurate dimension style setup that has rounding set to 0.00000001 or something along those lines. This allows me to check items when needed.
Generally if you have dimensioned to the face of an element and then select the element the dimension should become active (blue) allowing for you to type the value into it (this will move the object). Sometimes the activate dimensions button may come up at the top of the screen when revit believes there are a lot of associations to calculate. Click this button to activate dimensions in this circumstance.
Often when you've dimensioned to a point or the object is constrained in some way then you won't have the ability to move the object using dimensions and will have to resort to the move command.
HTH.

Click on Dimension under Basics...go to the properties. Make a new one. Then under "Units Format" make the Units -> Decimal Feet, Rounding -> Custom, make the Rounding increment what ever you want.. somting like .00000000001. Then click ok.
