Please help me with Revit Units...!

[CAD-LOVER0208]

Hello..

Ok I’ve installed Revit successfully… and I used it for a couple of simple Metric drawings..
BUT… today I have an assignment due that I have to use Imperial units for it.

My problem is, I looked all over Revit for the Imperial units, but I can’t find them..

Ok, what I did was:

· In the drawing area, under Projects, I clicked New.

· In the new Project dialog, under Create New, I selected project

· Under Template file, I clicked browse, and in the left dialog , Training files should be there and I should click open Imperial\Templates [metric\templates]

· By selecting default.rt [defaultMetric.rte] click open

· Then in the new project click OK


That’s what I did at the college and I worked with feet and inches easily.

But now at home, I can’t find any imperial templates. It’s all metric…

I hope I didn’t confuse anyone, and if I did I’m really sorry…

Anyone can help me ??? :oops:

Thanks in advance

When I downloaded the Revit student edition it gave me the option to download the metric and imperial files (which I did, as I knew much of the training exercises are in feet/inches) However, I think it is possible to change the units by opening Revit and selecting the "Settings" pull down menu. Scroll down to Project units and change the settings from metric to imperial. There still may be problems finding the correct walls and other content though, unless they are provided in the training files you have been given.

Hope this helps :)

you may need to load an imperial template file to work in imperial i think. (fully)
or do the above :)

im unsure on how it works between the 2 different units

If you downlaod teh full version, there are two icons that pop up on th ur desktop. One is Metric, and one is imperial.

[CAD-LOVER0208]

the two icons that i have are only for autoCAD, but for revit, i downloaded the student version and i only have one icon that says revit on it that's it. and when i open it, i get the metric one only. this is makng me crazy. i contacted the autodesk but i got nothing from them. :(
