💡 Pro Tips

Be cautious when scaling in Revit. It is often better to modify the family or type properties. Works best on imported elements or schematic items.

  • Trying to scale dimensionally-constrained Revit families, which often results in errors or unexpected results.
  • Scaling an entire model, which is almost always the wrong workflow.
