Display aspect ratio

[RAYMOND]

use Revit on high res 9:16 screen

but notice that square is actually a rectangle

 

this could be calibrated in autocad but see no option in for this in Revit.. in elevation especially doors look a lot wider than they are...

 

I tryed also some screen adjustments but no..

 

r:confused:

what is your screen res? can you set it to 1680x1050? I am using a 22" wide screen with this setting and it looks fine.

[Ky Lane]

Yeah, its your screen res. Set it wider.

[RAYMOND]

ok, my adventure for tommorro

however, i do remember several setting and

and circles still look like eggs...

 

[RAYMOND]

well, looks like res is the answer

 

however my screen is 14 x 9 (not that huge i guess)

but the res setting 1280 x 1024

which is not the same ratio.

 

not sure how one get ratio's the same

which would make squares squares

Sounds like a hardware problem. What brand is your monitor? Normally, you don't need to install driver for monitor - it should just work properly out of box, let you pick the correct resolution. If you have a wide screen monitor, set it to the HIGHEST NATIVE RESOLUTION (should be in your monitor manual under hardware specification section).

 

 

Basically, it sounds like you have a wide screen monitor, but you run it in the incorrect 4:3 resolution hence it makes circle looks like ellipse. If you set it to the correct native resolution (either 16:9 or 16:10), it should be the proper perfect circle, and square will be square.

 

 

Some proper 16:9 resolutions :

 

1280 × 720

1366 × 768

 

Some proper 16:10 resolutions :

 

1280 × 800

1440 × 900

1680 × 1050

1920 × 1200

2560 × 1600

Where you set the monitor resolution in the Display control panel, under Settings. Drag it all the way to the right. Alternatively, look up your monitor's resolution, and set it to that.

the settings are all the way to the right

however how can setting be reset to the monitors res

the menu says 1280 x 1040 which is the same as the properties

see no way to do that in display properties...

 

also tried the menu on the monitor itself... but all one can do is just align the display...still ellipeses for circles

 

maybe it be the driver...

I mean, actually look up the data from the manufacturer that says what the monitor's resolution should be.
