Autodesk Revit: Easy template creation

Template in Revit — a special .rte file, a starting point when creating a project. Template contains preloaded families, pre-configured views, filters, designed schedules, sheets etc. and thus simplifies and standardizes projecting.

Working on a good template, you need to build an object and apply a minimum design — a lot of routine operations are runned automatically.

For instance, you are projecting a block of flats. Having a good template, having just built a 3D model and pointed out essential features, you will get:

• preloaded model families  (walls, coverings, doors, windows etc. that you need)

• configurated plans (for instance, without "unnecessary" engineering objects)

• set schedules

• preloaded tags

• standard callouts

• configurated 3D views

• lists with general data, object indexes

• all "standard lists"

• etc...
