in this screenshot you see i put a drafting view on a sheet..

that dimension for the driveway opening reads 6 feet- but

it's supposed to be 40 feet..

if i change the view scale- the drawing won't fit on the sheet..

please somebody tell me how i can make that drive entrance

show a measurment of 40 feet and still fit on the sheet..

the tape measure also reads 6 feet..

this is a gas station i traced from google earth..

that east side driveway opening is 40 feet- not

the 6 feet it is measuring..

i'm trying to get the dimensions the same as they

really are.. when i change the view scale it only

changes the size of the drawing on screen or

on a sheet- but doesn't set the proper dimensions

in relation to what they really are in the image..

i've seem somebody do this before- so this is

beginner level stuff.. i'm just worse than a beginner

even though i've been doing revit for way too long..

oh wait a minute- i think it has something to do with

changing the scale of the image??? could that be it?

no no- you change the SIZE of the image to

match the drafting dimensions.. i haven't

tried it yet.. but that could be it..

unless somebody knows something

about this..
