Corinthian Column ?

[BomberAIA]

Does anyone have a Corinthian Column that will scale? The ones on the Modern Library & Revitcity won't. Thanks for the help.

This will scale in family, but not project. You might have to save it out to what specific height you need in your project.

how do i scale this column. I am unable to do it. I go to edit type and the option to scale it is faded out.

This thread is about eight years old now and the family contains a dwg file that is the geometry for the column. Back then we could associate the scale of a dwg file to a parameter and change it. Present day Revit seems to have lost the ability to alter it, at least it won't alter the nested dwg in this family. "Scaling" elements in Revit has always been managed by using parameters and has never been as easy as just "make it twice as big" unless you use parameters to respond to an input value like scale and then edit that value. The more things have to change in response to a single value the harder it can be to make the element scale. There have been some recent blog posts that take on the challenge of scaling a column faithfully.

Marcello is doing a class (http://www.cvent.com/events/rtc-north-america-2013/agenda-9f237ea3f527443c89793373d7db78c3.aspx) on scaling families at RTC in July, called "Size Matters, Learn to Scale Families" in two parts, a lecture and a lab.
