Hello.
I'm very new to Revit and I'm doing my first door family.
I'm trying to make the door in a way it would work well (and diferently) in the three detail levels. I'm thinking a good way is to have coarse for 1:200 scale, the medium for the 1:100 or 1:50 and fine for the 1:20 scale. I guess the details (1:10 , 1:5 and more) would have to be a separate detail family.
Do you think this is a good aproach? Can Revit go to 1:20 scale? The door families that came with Revit are very simplified.
One problem I'm having is with this door is that the frame is very thin and although in 1:20 or even 1:50 it would work fine in 1:100 (the medium detail) I would like to represent it as a thicker rectangle and in 1:200 I would just see the wall opening and no frame at all.
I guess you understand my problem...the wall opening would have to change for each detail level. What would be the best way to do this?
I attached an image showing the original dwg detail and some sketches of the detail levels.
Thanks!

It is very easy in Revit to assign different detail levels for various scales. You can also embed detail components for the amount of detail you show in your top image that will only show at a fine level of detail.
Personally i find it best to model at a medium level of detail, create symbolic lines for a coarse scale and use nested detail components for fine scales. These can also be linked to the door parameters to change with wall thickness, frame size, etc.
Trying to model too detailed, can be detrimental to file size and thus speed. Whilst modelling at a very coarse level you find yourself needing to add detail manually in a lot of views.
HTH.
