Scale, measure of maps, Revit
Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2013 2:55 am
Hello
I would like to ask about the scale of maps, converting from Revit to Indigo. We use metric system. It looks like that Indigo use Feets, But I dont understand how the units convert. For example map is 1meter in revit = -0,3048 in Indigo, but scale increase and decrese inverse, for example 2meters = -0,1524; 0,5meter = -0,6069....etc.....
Anyway is quite complicated for us, ok, but I´m totally confused by using External material choice in Revit....for example...I want to use map 500x500mm....first time convert from revit to -0,6069. Then save the material. In next step I want to use as External material in Revit, set up Sample width to 500mm...after converting ,material in indigo will be 2,0...map will be to big...if I would like to have the same -0,6069 ( thas the right size 500mm ) in cant to setup Sample width in Revit. In the folder it creates the new material with suffix xxx_revigo_edited.igm, but with weird scales.
Can you please help anyone to do with this, or/and do you know about sme update that solve this ? Or settings of units in Indigo ?
Thanks
