Hi,
Grid & Tag scaling issue - Basically when I create a room elevation at 1:20, the Grids and Tags scaled down accordingly as you would expect, but when I produce a GA Plan at 1:500 the Grids and tags go huge.
Why don't the Grids and tags scale accordingly??

Grid heads and tags never scale. They will always print the same "paper space" size.

We don't have to look, you are not listening. One of the great things about Revit is that annotation objects don't scale. If you set your text to 1/8", it will print 1/8" (paper space) in every view no matter what the view scale. Remember ..... you can set up multiple views of the same subject at different scales.
Why would you want text to scale down to where you can't read it?
You can plan for this. In views that are a smaller scale, you can place tags types that might be a little smaller. You can move text and tags so they don't cover up important items. Maybe you don't have all the column bubbles on....
You can always print a view using the print scale feature - just like you could in CAD.

Hi,
sorry if i'm coming across a bit dumb but i am a new user to revit so as you can imagine this is really frustrating for me.
I am not looking to scale text or grids. When I have been drawing my plan, the scale at the bottom is set to 1:100, when I change the scale of the drawing to 1:500 (so it fits onto an A1 sheet) all the grids and tags balloon up (as my attachment).
Please have a look at my previous attachment to see what is happening.

Yes they appear that they are getting larger but they are really not.. print your 1:100 scale and your 1:500 scale and you will see that they print at the same size. In order to fit your scale the drawing gets scaled down so the annotation obviously appears larger.
By the way you posted on this subject 3 different times now and recieved information. You do not need to start a new thread for this topic when you already had one.

Hi,
I have attached a print at 1:500 and as you can see, the grids and tags are still huge.
I have posted this 3 times as no one can seen to tell me what I am doing wrong.
sorry for being a pain!

YOU AREN'T DOING ANYTHING WRONG.. read the answers that we have given you! Your drawing is getting smaller, your annotation (grids and text) are NOT getting larger they are staying the SAME size. As I said.. print a scale of 1:500 and 1:100 and you will see that your drawing got smaller and your annotations are the exact same size.. as they should be.

I've basically have to change the size of the room tags to get over this.
I understand the fact that the drawing gets smaller and the grids stay the same size, this doesnt change the fact the drawing becomes illegible....as my previous attachments.

Then make a smaller tag or just turn them off. Do you really need to show room tags at a scale of 1:500? Thats a site plan scale and to small for me to use room tags, even grids can be scaled back as WWHub mentioned and just do ever other or just start and end. If you make the tags smaller you are not going to be able to easily read them and that will be a problem.
