Revit family?

Tyrone • 2012

Does anyone have a Revit family for arrows that adjust to any scale. I want to use it to show bar the ranges for reinforcement detailing as a 2D detail. Currently I have done a family but I can't get the family to scale.

BIM G

It won't scale if you've created it with 'Generic Annotation' category. You need to build a 'Detail Component', that would change its size according to the view scale. 1 More Answer
