Hello,

 

We are working on a project that has a 1:100 scale and want to convert to 1/8"=1'-0" scale.

 

Can anyone provide a scale conversion factor that has dealt with this before?

Surely the scale of the drawing does not matter.

 

It is the drawing unit size which is important.

As others are saying. Scale is irrelevant. It's just a ratio. You need to change the units from metric to imperial. Most likely mm to inches.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
