Scaling for Imported CAD Files

For imported DWG and DXF files, you can specify the units of measure for the imported geometry, and define a scale factor to achieve the appropriate scale for the Revit project.

  1. Select the imported CAD file and click Modify | <File Name> tabProperties panel (Type Properties).
    Note: SAT and 3DM files can't be scaled.
  2. In the Type Properties dialog, modify Import Units or Scale Factor.

    If you change the import units, the scale factor automatically updates. See Import and Link Options.

    Note: If no values display for these parameters, you must reload the link or re-import the file.
  3. Click OK.
