You can change dimension units without changing project units. Revit annotations is set to use project units by default. If you want to use it for all your future project, you need to change it in your template as well. Remember, project units are stored in Revit file. You can change units for Structural, HVAC and other disciplines as well. Try to change the discipline to see all unit settings available. You can change project units from Revit ribbon> Manage tab> Settings panel> Project Units.īy default, the setting for length in metric template is mm.

Unless you changed this before, then all annotations will use the new project units. All annotation settings by default are set to “use project settings”. If you want to change the units globally, you need to change it in Project Units. Let’s see how you can change these settings for your project. There will be too many zeros if we show the dimension in millimeters. A very large building maybe better shown in meters.

And sometimes we want to use millimeter in our project, but we want to show meter in dimension. I know some people don’t want to use millimeter and prefer to use meter. But it doesn’t mean that you have to use mm or Inch for your project. Revit comes with 2 different units by default: metric and imperial units.
