Well, in order to get the text to actually to be 1/4” when plotted, you have to increase the size parameter up 1/32” or some other value. This is scheduled to be addressed in a future product release.” I added your case onto the development team request, and notified the team. Depending on the font type it may not always match the actual dimension it is displayed in Revit as. “This is a known issue with Revit and TrueType font types. I again threw this one to Autodesk and here’s what they had to say… You can see that only ONE of the five are actually 1/4”! So if you are going to use a non-blocky type font, be careful as the size you want might not actually be true!

Apparently, fonts when read in Revit do not keep their true size! Take a look at the image below. The other thing I’ve run into recently was with using either custom fonts or “hand-type” fonts from Windows. So if you are investigating (or investing) in a custom font, make sure it’s either a TrueType font or an OpenType font with TrueType outlines! I verified this with Autodesk and Revit can only read OTF’s that are made with TrueType Outlines. It took me a second to adjust my eyes to notice that my font list in Revit wasn’t matching the font list in the Windows font folder. Windows doesn’t care which “type” they are, but Revit does. Well, not all OpenType fonts are created equal and it actually matters when it comes to Revit! OpenType fonts come in two “flavors”…one being made with TrueType Outlines and the other is made with Postscript Outlines. 'Revit has to be implemented, Not installed.I ran across a couple issues with Revit and using Fonts, whether they are “custom” fonts or if they are out-of-the-box Windows fonts.įirst off, when looking at the Windows Fonts folder, you’ll see TrueType fonts (TTF) and OpenType fonts (OTF) and you’ll see pretty much the same list when you look at the font list in Revit. Pretty much anything system defined by Revit dosen't allow user modification of that system other that duplicating to create a user based system. Tue, at 10:31:04 AM | Removing Line Styles and that happens more than anyone would think it should. But sometimes they are just too lazy to try out a simple task to see what happens. Obviously newbies sometimes don't know enough to be able to ask clearly and we try to raise their level of knowledge. If this person had clearly asked his question, it could have been answered in one response. If you tried something and that didn't work, you should say so. If you come here for help, you should be able to clearly ask your question. Tue, at 10:27:28 AM | Removing Line Styles I know I have in the past with similar issues, especially when trying to recreate the look of an existing company format. For all you know, that user might have spent most of that day trying to work around that. Obviously, it only takes a few seconds to see the simple answer to the question, but most of us newer users are coming here after getting nowhere with the obvious path, hoping that more experienced users have found that hidden path that has been eluding us. At least that was the direction I got out of the question. Editing INI files or other data/resource/settings files comes to mind as methods that were more involved than the usual clicking options in the program, but less involved than rewriting the software. Many programs over the years have had less-than-obvious ways of working around a programmer's intent and 'forcing' something without requiring working as a programmer for the company. Whoa, gear down there, Big Shifter -) I think that was a fair enough question. Tue, at 9:21:56 AM | Removing Line Styles You asked how you can rename a system line not how you can change the programming and now I have answered that as well. I answered your question the way it was written. it's called programming - get a job with AutoDESK and change the program. There has to be a way to change even program settings.įri, at 9:54:59 AM | Removing Line Styles My question was more of, has anyone figured out how to dig into it deeper into the programming to change it. I'm not stupid, I did try the simple 'rename' function and obviously its not available. gee it takes 30 seconds.įri, at 9:29:43 AM | Removing Line Styles Why don't you try and answer for yourself. It's questions like this that drive me nuts! Thu, at 1:41:07 PM | Removing Line Styles Thu, at 1:38:26 PM | Removing Line Styles You can not remove the system defined linestyles.
