Splash sheet information ready to edit.Sheets and view templates hosted within the model.How I want to push a template further is to use the standard info:- (these can all be found in previous blogs) in the elements of these container files. It’s worth also incorporating manufacturer information, u values, parametric door information etc. Where the modelled walls are placed, side by side, and a legend of the wall types is kept. These should be store in a container file. Now you don’t want to open a 200mb model every time you need to copy a wall out. If, like us you have a number of projects, in a number of fields then you will have a number of windows, doors, roof build ups, wall build ups etc. The below sketch has an idea to how information should be incorporated between templates / models and container files, to increase standards within workflow. We briefly touched on Revit templates in the ‘Project Standards’ thread here, but I feel a need to push it a bit further (isn’t this what we all want to achieve within revit?). You want the models, and the 2D documents to be office, or company specific, with a uniform look to it all.
Template Set up ‘Going Further’ Containers and Schedulesįurther to discussion with BIMHappens, and FlightoftheNavisGator, I raised the point of going that little bit further…Ī good drawing office needs revit templates, no doubt about it.
