Revit Systems Issue

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have installed Revit from the link which autodesk sent me..and it was set by metric system. I could change metric system to inch for project, but the wall, doors, and other materials remain by metric system.

What is problem with this? Is this something wrong with me when installing Revit? or link itself?

You need to create a project from an Imperial template.  If it was metric, everything is metric.  That is the simple solution.

 

If you are already too far along on your project, then go to the Manage Tab and click on Project Units and change accordingly.   You will have to modify all text and dimension styles along with any metric families to be the proper units though.

How can I find Imperial template?
Start page, there are only choices of Construction, Architectural,
Structural, Mechanical Templates.

Also my title block and other family are metric, can I change those too? Is
it better re install it? and if so, how can I reinstall Imperial setting
Revit?

Take a look here:  http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2016/ENU/?guid=GUID-851D6C9F-3E00-460D-B49E-341C22D3B9B5

 

When modifying the content libraries you can select which template is default.

I followed the procedure from the link, and I could installed the English
US imperial, and I set it as a default. However, when I opened Revit, the
title blocks were still in Metric system, and there were no family
contents. (Even when I started from Imperial template project)

Is it something to do with this notification?
(When I opened after I installed the US Imperial, I got this notice)

When you create a new project, Create New, but don't select a template and click Browse.  Make sure that the list of templates is looking under US Imperial.  Default.rte is the Architecture template.

 

If you see something else, such as US Metric, then you need to modify your template locations in the options. (Big R-->Options-->File Locations)
