Hi!

I'm inserting in a project a series of components/furnitures.

For example I'm inserting the .rfa of a sofa.

I'd like to change dimension to the sofa, just to scale it down in width and length, accordly with my project, but:

1-The Scale Tool is no accessible once selected the sofa (probably it works just with some kinds of elements)

2-Once selected the sofa under "Edit Type" there are not parameters for dimensions

3-If I insert an "Aligned Dimension" constraint it doesn't work too.

So.. the only way to scale a component is to edit the family?

Thanks a lot!

That "Sofa" was created in revit OR is an imported object like a CAD file?

I believe it's a CAD file, so, edit that family and scale that.

If I import a .dxf furniture the scale tool is available... so what I should do is to export the .rfa in a CAD format (dwg, dxf...)

and reimport it..???

No, just open that family and use the "Scale" tool, save and "load into project"
