FIGURE 1.19: The procedure for “drawing” a wall in Revit Architecture
3. Another thing you will notice is a blue dimension extending from the
first point to the last point. Although dimensions cannot be typed over,
this type of dimension is a temporary dimension, and is there for just
that. Type 100, and press the Enter key. (Notice you did not need to
type the foot mark ('). Revit thinks in terms of feet.) The wall is now
100' long. See Figure 1.19.
4. With the Wall command still running, move your cursor straight up
from the endpoint of the 100'-long wall you just drew. Look at
Figure 1.20.
FIGURE 1.20: How Revit Architecture works is evident in this procedure.
5. Type 80 and hit Enter. You now have two walls.
6. Move your cursor to the right until you “run into” another blue
alignment line. Notice that your temporary dimension says 100'–0".
