In this Autodesk Revit tutorial I am going to explain how View Scales work. Desktop ghost 1 02. If you’d like to watch the video version of this tutorial first, simply click in the box below Many view types in Revit contain a “View Scale” property- such a Flor Plans, Ceilings Plans, Sections, Elevations, Callouts, Drafting Views. When trying to change the scale of a view in Revit, you find that the scales are inaccessible - grayed out. This is due to a view template being used for that view that is controlling the scale. There are a few ways to deal with this situation: Remove (unassign) the view template from the view. This should unlock all of the properties so that they can be modified independently from the View. Graphical scaling requires 3 clicks: the first click determines the origin, and the next 2 clicks define the scale vectors. Revit calculates a scale factor by determining the ratio of the lengths of the 2 vectors. For example, suppose you sketch a first vector that is 5 feet and a second vector that is 10 feet. This creates a scale factor of 2. As a result, the elements become twice their.

First: I hate them, and the idea behind them. However, until paper goes away, I don't see getting rid of them totally. That's not what I want to debate. Frankly, I'd like do what Gordon Price mentions here, if I had my way.
That said, I wonder why we don't make them a detail item and put them in the view. That way, you only need ONE and it works no matter what scale you make the view. Right? Or am I missing something. I very well could be. I've been working 1/2 days lately (you know 12 hours, half days..)
