Resizing Numerically
To resize numerically, enter a scale factor and specify the origin of the resize function.
To resize elements numerically:
1 Select the elements to resize.
Be sure to select only supported elements, such as walls and lines. The Resize tool is unavailable
if your entire selection contains just one non-supported element.
2 Click Edit menu
➤
Resize, or click on the Edit toolbar.
3 On the Options Bar, select Numerical.
4 Enter a scale factor.
5 Click in the drawing area to specify the origin.
The element resizes by the defined scale factor.
Resizing Elements with Formulas
You can use formulas to modify the dimensions of specific elements. For example, as you sketch a wall, you
can enter a formula for the temporary dimension of the wall. Begin the formula with an equal sign, and
then use conventional mathematical syntax. For more information, see
Valid Formula Syntax and
Abbreviations on page 367.
To modify a dimension for an existing element
1 Select the element.
Revit Architecture displays a temporary dimension. (If the dimension uses the wrong reference
points, drag the blue squares (of the witness lines) to the desired reference points.)
