bar scale

[beegee]

Gordons,

Thanks for posting those, I'll look throgh them as soon as I can.

Appreciated.

Hi, here are 3 metric bar scales we have developed to allow multiple scales on a single sheet with parameter control of text divisions by entering known scale.

1. bar scale var. for 1:50 1:100 1:200 and multiples ie 1: 5000

2. bar scale 0.8 var for 1:125 1:250 1: 1250 1:2500 etc

3. bar scale 1.25 var for 1:400 1:800 etc



hope these are of help.

any comments welcomed

thanks

steve.

CAN ANYBODY SHOW ME HOW THEY MODIFIED THE BAR SCALE TO ADD MORE SCALES TO IT.....THANKS IN ADVANCE

Anybody have a 3/32" = 1'-0" scale?

I made a bar scale that is parametric but I ended up needing two or three types to make sure I end up with even numbers. I guess you could overlap and control by visibility.

It really work be nice if the graphic scale could read the scale of the drawing. For now I just change out families or family types as needed.

I just made one.

Symbol text annotation to control numbers
Length parameter to control size of bars
Any Scale you need. Just add the numbers.
Visibility to control CD or Presentation graphics.

Enjoy...

Great barscale Brad! Very easy to use. Thanks

WOW nice one bowlingbrad that one is so easy to use. Now we could take it further and add a rotating north arrow haha

Revit should allow parametric fomulas with the default scale as reference. You can then load one scalebar into your titlesheet with an on/off visibility parameter and never have to worry whether it is displaying the correct scale. You should then also be able to load it into a view type for use when you have more than one view on a sheet (like having a title / not having a title)

Bar scales are infinitely parametric across many platforms. Print poorly from Revit, not to scale but as a percentage of a scale. print again, fax again, scan and reprint. The bar scale is still very accurate.

Here's my crack at a Bar Scale which requires only that you enter the scale used on the sheet. I have loaded it into my title sheet file and then set a visibility parameter for the family as well as an instance parameter for the drawing scale there. If we are given additional use of parameters i.e "Scale" this can be substituted there for an automatic, accurate Scale Bar on every sheet! Fortunately metric scales all tend to produce only integers on the bar so one length can be used. I had to work in a decimal factor for larger and smaller scales though.
