I wish it had a batch mode to do families, but I figure I will create a file, load all the families into the file, run the tool and then use the command on the Application menu to export all of the families (Application Menu > Save As > Library > Families). It quickly changed the font of ALL annotation items in my project file. I cannot comment on all of the other tools, but I installed it in Revit 2013 and ran the Change Font tool. So if you are logged in, there is no need to register with them directly.īIMTools is a suite of structural tools. The 2014 version is on the Exchange App store. The page is in German, so you may need to translate if you do not “sprechen Deutsch”. The tool is called BIMTools and you can find information about it here. Luke mentioned a tool by a company named SofiSTiK. One such post was over at “What Revit Wants”. Many have commented on this issue before on the various forums and blogs out there. Unfortunately.Ī quick Google search revealed that I am not alone on the desire for an easy way to do this. If you have ever been faced the this issue of swapping fonts in Revit before, you know that it is NOT as easy as simply flipping some master switch. Both of these clients use fonts other than arial in tags, dimensions and text.

Understandable in Revit 2008, but is really quite ridiculous now.I am working on a few Revit implementation projects for a couple clients right now.

I would like to say first that I am an architect and not a coder, soĪlthough I have “coded” since 1982, it is not really my forte. SO I wanted to know if anyone had a complete list of the elements and the line pattern they use out of the box so I do not delete them! I have to manually determine which line pattern they use as to not delete them out. It is easy to see and change the line patterns of certain things in the line styles menu, for instance the line style, but for things like level lines, grid lines, etc. If there is no way, would anyone have or know which line patterns Revit uses from the start, that way I will know which ones I can manually delete and which ones I should keep? I have tried importing some CAD line styles that I want to use and simply deleted all the line patterns that were not imported, but this caused a few elements, like grid lines, to change to solid lines.

I figured I would try asking just in case someone had found someway to do so - is there an easier way to delete unused line patterns other than finding which ones are note used and deleting them manually aka PURGE? I've done some research and based on what I have read, it seems there is no way to simply purge out unused line patterns.
