"Scale - lets you scale certain lines and graphic elements in 2D that make sense to scale, such as imported raster images and 2D line shapes."
"note: Keep in mind that you’re working with a building information model (BIM) made out of real-world objects, not abstract primitive forms. Don’t expect to be able to scale most elements in Revit—it’s not practical or meaningful."
"Aligning Elements - ...take time to get acquainted with this tool, because it’s a real timesaver and supplants the need to use many of the tools we’ve already discussed. The Align tool lets you line things up in an easy, quick, and intuitive manner."
"explicitly align references from one element to another."
"find the Align tool in the Modify tab, under the Edit panel. To use the Align tool, you will first select the target reference (a part or side of the element to which you want to align another element) and then select what you want to align to that reference (the part or side of the element whose position needs to be modified)."
"second element picked always moves into alignment."
"As soon as you make your second pick, a lock icon appears so you can constrain the alignment. Once you click the lock icon, if either element moves, it brings the constrained element along with it."
"also works for aligning geometry with surface patterns like brick or stone. Select a line in the surface pattern, and then select the geometry you want aligned. ...Use the Tab key if you cannot get surface patterns selected with the first mouse click."
"...also rotate elements in the process of aligning them to objects which are not parallel."
