Adding persistent custom scales

[some buddy]

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to programmatically add persistent custom scales to a view (see picture attached).

There are some scales missing in the out of the box configuration, like 1:25 and 1:75 which could be interesting from a structural designer point of view.

Thanks for your time,

Buddy

In general the API doesn't allow you to customize existing UI elements in any meaningful way that I've found, however you can control the scale of a view in the API so it shouldn't be difficult to create an add-in which allowed you to establish custom scales and maintain them persistently.

Hi Abe,

Thanks for the answer. Could you suggest how to accomplish this ? Something like pseudocode or even some chunks of code! I have some (very) basic knowledge of programming in Revit, but I spare the (re)search about how, what and where.

Thanks again,

Buddy
