How to scale massing model or object

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

Can someone please show me how to scale massing model or object?

Thank you

a handy solution consists in Exporting the isolated object/mass to CAD and then inserting the CAD file into either  a new Family - Generic Model or Mass  (or even in Project) , where you'll be able to scale the new family...

Hi there,
Thank you but when I imported back to revit. It does not recognise the imported as masses.
I cannot add wall, floor on the massing model.

I works but not for curved surfaces..

A more appropriate approach is to create a Parametric Mass that can control the dimensions and will allow you to scale the Mass Component as you desire....

Are you Importing the CAD into  Revit via an In-Place Massing Session?  If so, it should be recognized as a Mass as soon as you close out of the Session.  Then you can apply Walls/Roofs by Face, and Floors was well.

Good morning,
Do you mean import into generic model template as massing model?
Can you please kindly elaborate what you said?
Thanks Lilian

go to Massing & Site Tab=>In-Place Mass and start creating a new named In-Place Mass Family. In editing mode, go to Insert Tab=>Import CAD and load your DWG into your In-Place Mass.  When done, press "Finish Mass" to close out of editing mode.  As soon as you do, Revit will throw this Warning confirming that it's a Mass. That's how you create a Mass from a DWG in Revit.

easily you can go to massing and site then select your mass then Edit it and scale it as you need

Do you have the original reference line? Normally if you have those, you can scale those shape and it will scale your massing.

Thank you. It worked but it does not like my unusual geometry😂. I could easily trace it. Have a great day 😀
