Too Small?!?!

Is there any way to get around "Element is too small on screen"? I am making a keyplan family for this project and the outline is much smaller than the building.

How are you attempting to draw this keyplan? In a detail family or by tracing the building and scaling down the lines?

 

There are many who draw it in AutoCAD and then import it.

I did draw it in Autocad and imported it into a generic annotation family. I need to shade each section though. I go to filled region, pick lines, and it doesn't like the smallest lines. I have attached the family. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Have you tried drawing the hatch in AutoCAD before importing it?

 

I know that I would go and align the lines to omit the 3/256" offsets. Its a keyplan, and that level of detail shouldn't be necessary. But that is how I would do it.
