Resizing Elements with Formulas

You can use formulas to modify the dimensions of specific elements. For example, as you sketch a wall, you
can enter a formula for the temporary dimension of the wall. Begin the formula with an equal sign, and
then use conventional mathematical syntax. For more information, see
Abbreviations
To modify a dimension for an existing element
1 Select the element.
Be sure to select only supported elements, such as walls and lines. The Resize tool is unavailable
if your entire selection contains just one non-supported element.
Resize, or click
on page 367.
Revit Architecture displays a temporary dimension. (If the dimension uses the wrong reference
