Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give any suggestions on how I could change Revit from metric to imperial as I am working on an old building which is in imperial. I am in Canada and Revit is automatically in metric. 

 

Thanks,

to change units click on manage tab then project units tab.

a dialogue box opens offering alternatives.

under project units click on the narrow boix next to length (it would say 1235[mm]   )

change it to feet and fractional inches or fractional feet etc, your choice.

click ok to exit and you should be in metric.

cheers

Remember - changing the project units will not change any annotations that are set to something other than project units.

I was reading somewhere else, that I should change it in manage project units. I only really need the mesuring tool to be in imperial  though. Also this is for piping,

 

Please help me and thanks in advance.
