Text Scalability

In ArchiCAD v18, where do I go to find I text "Scalability"?

Coming from autoCAD background, I've been struggling with different text sizes. I found this thread with text size recommended in model space
https://helpcenter.graphisoft.com/knowledgebase/25637/

However, it does not have another conversion for what the text should be in layout space if I were to do the text there instead of in the model.

If someone has a chart out there that they go by, please share with me, I'd appreciate it.
I read online from Eric Barrows that I can simply have the text done in model space, but turn on "scalability"... AC18 reference guide (page 3395) wrote that it's at Model View Options Override Fill Display>Scalability, I can't find it, can someone show me?

AC Text is set in Layout units so you don't need to "convert" to PSpace like in Autocad. Set the text to "Paper Size" in your view (which are at the correct print size) and there is nothing else to do.
