Multi Unit project

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Is it possible to have a project that has metres and millimetres included in
the drawing at the same time. I wanted to specify levels in m and all other
measurements in mm.

I cant see any way to set different units to different elements in the
project units tab. Or by simply changing the element properties itself.

Thanks

Marc

I think that is still in the wish list. Easy to do in AutoCAD, but not available in Revit yet.

Set your project units to mm.

In the Project Browser, Families, Annotation Symbols, find the symbol
being used for your levels (mine is "Level Head - Circle").

Right click on it, select "Edit". "Yes" to open this symbol for editing.

Select the Elevation label, click the "Edit label..." button.

Select the Elevation parameter on the right side, click the button at
the bottom with a hand pointing to the # symbol to "Edit Parameter's
Units Format".

Uncheck "Use project settings". Use the drop-downs to specify meters,
whatever rounding you would like, etc.

Load into your project.

Yes, most people will stop before they ever get there.

FYI, dimension types have a "Units Format" parameter that allows the
same override (or not) by dimension type. For Schedules, this can be
set on the Formatting tab, "Field Format..." button.

Brian, yes, I had seen those settings you are mentioning. What I had not seen was that little icon with the # symbol. It was so small and hidden that I laughed when I found it, following your steps. Thank you very much.
