Scroll down to the last line of this post regarding the resize command.
It references "listening dimensions".
Any one know what listening dimensions are?
Resizing Graphically
Graphical resize requires 3 clicks. The first click determines the origin; the next two clicks define the scale vectors. Revit Building calculates a scale factor by taking the ratio of the lengths of the two vectors. For example, you sketch a first vector that is 5 feet, and the second vector is 10 feet. This creates a scale factor of 2. The elements now become twice their original size.
Select some supported elements, such as walls and lines.
Be sure to select only supported elements. The Resize command is unavailable if your entire selection contains just one non-supported element.
On the Edit Toolbar, click or click Resize on the Edit menu.
On the Options Bar, select Graphical.
In the drawing area, click to enter the origin point.
The cursor snaps to various references, and you can press TAB to change the snap points.
Move the cursor to define the first vector.
First resize vector
Click to enter that length.
Move the cursor again to define the second vector.
Second resize vector
Click to enter that point.
The selected element resizes such that the ends of vector 1 now coincide with those of vector 2.
TIP:You can use "listening dimensions" to enter values for the lengths of the vectors.

Listening Dimensions are those dimensions that appear dynamically during certain operations that require input, like walls. when you see the listening dimension you can just type a value
that whole procedure that you discribed in your post is what Autocad calls a reference scale
