My very first Revit project is a residential home that has been worked on for 8 years.
It is an absolute disaster! There is not a single dimension anywhere in the project that is a whole number.
Height, Width, Length. X, Y, Z. Everything. I mean EVERYTHING has a fraction
15/128
8'-8 13/256
12'-4 23/64"
on and on it goes. And its driving me to pop!
Yes, AutoCAD dwgs were imported in. Those drawings themselves were set to a crud tolerance so its been bad from day one.
How everything became so wrong? I have no idea. I mean why would anyone set a sill height to 2'-4 11/64"
My guess is someone got mad at the boss, turned everything on, changed view to 3D and then scaled up the the drawing with a leisurely mouse click drag.
Is that even possible? No idea.
Can you shift into Park while driving 65mph on the highway? Yup.
Is there any way to make the fractions go away in the temporary dimensions or better yet, calm them down to 1/8" or 1/4"
I know, the information will be wrong. I don't care. I'm not allowed to care.
The project should be expunged from the hard drive and started over but that's not in the budget.
The project is being scaled back. That is what has been going on for years. Mostly just yanking out items but there is still some design work to do.
There must be a way to alter the tolerance settings.
It's not under Manage/additional settings/Temporary Dimension Properties
Doesn't Revit have variables like AutoCAD?
Where is the secret menu.
Apologies if this topic has been answered already. Please direct me to the topic if it exists.
Thanks!
