Hi
I'm aiming this at Autodesk to read this and hopefully to fix.
I'm running Revit 2017 with 4k monitor running at full native res.
My text started cutting off and doing funny things as soon as its scaled anything above 100%
the text box sizes would reduce and for some reason the original text in it doesn't fit anymore although the same file shows fine on another computer at 100% scaled.
This makes it extremely hard to read whats going on at 100% scaled 4K, which leaves me to either reduce the res to HD or try and hurt my eyes daily.
Please Autodesk fix this.
Just remember that Autodesk calls out that Revit 2017 recommends a lower resolution that what a 4K monitor provides. Now i agree that they should work on providing support for such a monitor as its getting more common.
Just following up on Nathan's response. Please see the following link for additional information. I reviewed the internal case on this and development is looking into ways of addressing it. Currently the recommendation is to adjust your resolution. I understand this is not idea and I apologise for any inconvenience this is causing, but hopefully this will be addressed in a not to distant update or release of Revit.
Thanks for posing.
I have a 30" 2560x1600 monitor at work and a 32" 3840x2160 monitor at home. Here's what is pretty much working for me right now:
Using Revit 2017 and Windows 10. GTX 1080 at work and GTX 1060 at home.
On the 32" 4K monitor running at 3840x2160, the Revit icons look OK to me when scaled to 130%.
To do the scaling, I use Windows "advanced display settings" and then pick "Advanced sizing of text and other items". On the next screen there is a blue link called "set a custom scaling level" with a warning that it might cause problems, but I tried it at 130%.
Revit is working well for me. The ribbon, properties, and project browser all scaled properly. Icons within the main drawing window area remain scaled at 100% so they are pretty small, but I can use them. i.e., the view minimize/maximize/close icons in the upper right corner are tiny. So, in Revit, everything either scales fine or remains unscaled and is small, but there are no unreadable things. I can deal with it until Windows and Autodesk catch up with the monitor technology.
The other way to scale in Windows is to use the slider on the "Customize your display" screen that is called "Change the size of text, apps, and other items." That slider did not produce a good effect. What it actually did in Revit and at least a few other apps was change the resolution from native to a lesser interpolated resolution. I didn't use it for long. Everything looks well-scaled, but the drawing window is not at native resolution. I can see the pixelization and it's not as smooth. It affects PDF's as well, so where I could read tiny text at native resolution, it's not readable using that method of scaling. I can achieve the same thing by setting the video card to 2560x1440 and letting the monitor interpolate from it's native resolution, so it's not as crisp. It is, however, surprisingly good for being interpolated. I have a 30" Dell at work that runs at 2560x1600 and the 4K screen running at non-native 2560x1440 looks almost that good. Most people wouldn't notice any blur.
The custom scaling left the screen at native resolution, with mostly good scaling. AutoCAD 2016 has some problems with the scaling. The AutoCAD startup screen is messed up, and the tool pallet text lines overlap by about 30%, but the ribbon and properties box are OK.
I find that I prefer working on the 32" 4K screen over the 30" 2560x1600 screen. This screen looked huge when I first got it, but now it just seems normal. I was thinking that the Dell P4317Q 42.5" screen would be just too big, but now I'm not so sure. It has the same "real estate" and same 4k resolution as the 32" screen, but might look fine at 100% scaling, avoiding a lot of issues.
Thanks 2003Homsey, a really good response.
Unfortunately when I tried your method of changing text size/scale, because I run dual monitor setup, one being 1920x1080 native, pushing all to 130% made the HD monitor feel like a granny computer as the text is huge!
I tried reducing the 4k to your suggested 2560x1440 and seems close enough. I does look blurry, but I guess it'll work for now.
Also you're not wrong with going big with a 4k screen, I run a 49" UHD at home and it works perfectly. I sit right infront of it (normal computer desk distance) and everything looks just as crisp as my 17" HD laptop screen next to it, accept huge real estate. I can actually multitask properly using windows 10's window snapping into all 4 corners and running multiple apps at once. I do highly recommend 49" for 4k.
