Automatic Bar Scale in View Title

[sarah.hay10]

Has anyone managed to figure out how to incorporate a graphic scale into their view title family that has automatically updating labels that update based on the view's scale?

e.g. if the view scale is 1/4" = 1', then the graphic scale would update to say 4' at the one inch mark, then 8' at the two inch mark, etc...

Alternatively, does anyone know if you can pass text to a lookup table? I have an idea if I could somehow get revit to pass out the "View Scale" parameter out to a look up table, then I could have them pass back the related values for each label.

Another possible idea, is there anyway to tap in to the "Scale Value" view parameter? If I could use that in a formula I am pretty sure I could work out mathematically what each label should be.

Afaict, you are not programming anything yourself.

In that case, unfortunately, this is not the best place to ask such a question.

Please note that this discussion forum is dedicated to programming Revit using the Revit API.

Therefore, you cannot expect an answer to a question such as yours relating to product usage or end user support issues here.

You should try one of the non-API Revit product support discussion forums instead for that:

The people there are much better equipped to answer your question than us programming nerds.

I hope this clarifies.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Best regards,
