CAD-LOVER0208 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 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 ??? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRevit Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
