All I have managed to resize are some acad symbols I have imported. Almost nothing from Revit objects (Groups, tags, symbols, etc)

Using the Resize command, you can modify multiple elements simultaneously by changing their scale factor. The Resize command is available for lines, walls, images, dwg and dxf imports, ref planes, and position of dimensions. You can scale elements either graphically or numerically. All elements must lie in parallel planes; view-specific elements scale in a view parallel to the view; all walls in the selection must have the same base level.

Inserts in walls remain at a fixed distance from the wall’s midpoint when you resize the wall.
Resize changes the position of dimensions but not their values. If you resize an element that a dimension references, the dimension value does change.
Import symbols have a read-only instance parameter called Instance Scale. It shows how much the instance size differs from the base symbol. You can change it by resizing the import symbol.
You cannot resize Text or symbols.

Regarding symbols, you can edit them in the family editor and resize the lines that comprise them.
