Universe Map

[GoldenGateNetwork]

Good afternoon dear Mentors.

I am planning to make a Revit model of our Galaxy or at least of our Solar system in real scale, and then of the full visible Universe, but when I was drawing our Sun, Sizing 865,370 miles, my Revit shows me this message "Please enter a value less than 30,000". 

How can I set up my Revit Model space to infinite or unlimited?

any suggestions please? or any one knows please if NASA has already made this map? I need it for a Movie that I am planning to show in the future.

thank you very much, any response will be really appreciated

About the Maximum Distance Limit | Revit | Autodesk Knowledge Network

...I think you need Galaxy Information Modeling (GIM) software for that. I don't think you're going to get there with BIM software.  😉

Even if Revit could model unlimited distances, you would not see any planets because they would appear as tiny dots given the distances between them.  And yes Revit limit is 20 miles, beyond that is highly unworkable.

"Tiny dots"?  Maybe with my Meade LX200GPS Telescope on a clear night, the planets would be "tiny dots".  With the naked eye? Forget about it.  😉

Put it up as idea for Revit developer to expand the limit. I too like to built planet and create intergalactic space war. Right now I am limited to 9144m for planet. This mean my death start also scale down to make it work. Screenshot is below shows scaled down version. The earth is 9144m radius. This is 0.14% of the original size.

Good afternoon, thank you for your message and for your idea, what is
your name please?
I was thinking of doing the same: instead of making my Macrocosm's map,
I will do my Microcosm's one located inside a spider web. Do you think
please you can work with me in a Hollywood project?, it's a universe
inside a spider web full of water planets, fire planets, planets only
for insects, planets full of mammals... they have a mission to spread
the life BUT they have to scape from that universe because they are
experiencing a lot of weird thinks that they don't understand (it's
because sometimes the spider catches a fly and the web is broken,
affecting millions of planets and galaxies inside)
please contact to me if you are interested, I am Pedro, my email is

thank you very much

This is really cool, the screen shot you got, I am impressed, did you make that micro model?

@barthbradley @ToanDN  Galaxy Information Modeling? sounds interesting, where and how can I get that please?

thank you

Revit is the wrong software... Try a software called Celestia 

Have Nasa and/or others done such maps? check 

1. The Millennium Simulation Project
2. The illustris project

If these guys did then most definitely Nasa did too
