Hello:
I am new to this forum. I am new to Revit in implementation. I have question. I have this decimal units autocad drawing which is essentially an engineering drawing. I imported into autocad without scaling so that it mainatained its coordinates. My purpose was that when I export back to autocad for other consultants, they should be able to xref this drawing at its original coordinates. I was successful in acheieving that. But I have now another problem. Since this decimal drawing was not scaled for architectural units, all wall types were 12 times bigger for obvious reasons. So I solved that also by making duplicates of the wall types by using 1/12 factor. Now here is the big problem how do I dimesnion it because all dimensions are shosing up in 1/12 factor for obvious reasons.
Could you please help me? I was in other user group and one user said scale it. But the problem does not stop there. So what do I do now? Help is really needed here because I do see huge potential of intelligent software like Revit.
