Hi all,

I linked a cad topo file from the civil engineer into my revit 2014 file. For some reason the scale is way off...

Example: The property should dimension at 180' (in cad it's ok) but in revit it's only 15'-0"?

See attached pics.

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Thanks

Never mind...just figured out what the problem was.

In case someone has the same problem...here's what worked for me.

1. Set Import Units to Custom and 1.0000

Done
