I am trying to make a key plan and I started it in a Generic Annotation. It is of a mall and I have it set so when it is loaded you can turn the visibility of each store on/off.

To make this I started the plan larger- I anticipated getting errors that the lines I was drawing would be too small for Revit- thinking that I could scale it all down once I had the filled regions done. Wrong!

From what I've been able to find online so far I should've started as a Detail Item and not a Generic Annotation. Is there any way to correct the scale of the symbol without having to do it all again? 

Any help is appreciated!

I think you should cut your losses and start over.  There are many discussions on key plans here at RC.  Search key plan.  I believe autodesk also has a tutorial on creating key plans.

Darn. I was really hoping there'd be a workaround- there are 40+ spaces to hatch!

I used all of the threads here to figure out how to do it, the scaling is the only part I ran into problems.
