Can you adjust wall lengths in Revit using only temporary dimensions?

In Revit, while temporary dimensions provide a way to visualize and adjust the positions of elements, they do not directly allow for modifications to wall lengths. Temporary dimensions are typically used for indicating distances and alignment but are not meant for permanent adjustments to the geometry of elements like walls.

To change or adjust wall lengths effectively, you would typically need to use the direct manipulation tools (such as grabbing the end grips of a wall) or edit the wall properties directly within the properties palette. This means that temporary dimensions serve more as guides during the design process rather than tools for making the changes themselves.

By understanding that adjustments to wall lengths must be made through other methods, such as using permanent dimensions or editing directly in the model, it becomes clear why the statement is false. This reinforces the importance of knowing how different types of dimensions function within the Revit environment for architectural design.
