Please help me with Revit Units...!


CAD-LOVER0208

Recommended Posts

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 :)
