Multiple scales of duplicate plans on a sheet

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've created 3 duplicate views of same floor plan as dependent views (because I have 3 standalone shelters on same site) but unable to set different scales for :

1.main plan and dependent views

2. each dependent views

Pls assist

Dependent views have the sane scale as the parent view. You have to
convert them to Independent views.

Thanks Toan.

...but updates will not be reflected in indenpendent views....is there a way to overcome?

Sorry to dump questions but I have to recreate duplicates from scratch or is there a setting to convert 'dependent' to 'duplicate with detail'? 

Thanks

You can create a View Template with the Scale box unchecked. Then assign it to these Views and you can still change scale independently.

Right click on a dependent view on the browser and convert to independent will keep all the annotation.

...would callouts be a better choice?

Using Call-outs is a more proper workflow.  But you will lose all annotation because they are new Views.  You have to copy paste from the old one to the new one.  Again, you can create View Template and assign to callout views.

Hi Toan,

How do you assign view template to dependent views? I tried but it wont let me.

I thought I said you had to convert them to independent views first.

Annotative changes won't be reflected in independent views, but of course model changes will be.

One should not repeat annotation from smaller scale views to larger scale views.  Think about the hierarchy of information and where is appropriate to convey them.

I just ran into this situation. I would typically agree with the idea that you want to consider higherarchy of information and not duplicate. However, this job required a full plan on one page and then zoomed in plans with the information on others, client requirement so they wanted duplicate info.

To the question there is no way to do this but to get as much completed info then duplicate it then make independent then change the info twice later on pain I know but that is revit telling us how to work again.

Hi

Can you change the Sheet size example A1, to A0 etc

Cause dependent views wont change the scale...

A work around is change the sheet sizes and only then you may be able to use

dependent views..

but if Sheet sizes are Fixed, then you are inviting this problem of Scale...

Revit is heartless when the scale changes...

Tip : You may use Bigger Sheet size, use the dependent views.. and  while printing fix the scale..

Example...

I had floor plan, roof plan, elevation , section ... on multiple A1 Sheet...

and I needed one sheet with all those views..

So I placed all those views on one sheet.. ( A1 was too small ) so used A0...

here I could use dependent view .. hide view scale, and print 50% or fit to scale..
