custom template creation

[Carlo B]

Good morning to all, I searched on the forum and a little on the internet but I didn't find what interests me.

I'm interested in creating a project model. to be able to use as a basis in projects.

before leaving though I would be interested to know from whom of you already use them that scheme to follow to create one. I'll explain better.

1) better to start from new-> design model and set everything from ze or start from a project type erasing the building and adding what is missing?

2) once chosen from where to start which scheme should be followed to give consistency to the procedure?

for example I would do:

- creation of the most often used materials and complete set of graphics and appearance
-creation of roofed floor walls (system faults) with material setting
-creation of possible phases and setting of the various views to produce
-planning of tables
-loading used doors / windows more frequently
-loading elements of detail quota styles etc.

how would you change/improve this ladder? personally how do you proceed?

I made a typical full case project then I deleted everything and the file I keep it as a start for the next. Question 2, I don't understand what you mean. bye

I would not start from scratch, if nothing else for the difficulty in remembering and planning everything you want to define.
said this, the (i because you can't handle it with one), you need to stay streamlined, so don't hang them with system families, for which you use "container" files from where they recover when necessary, and even less with loadable families, except those generic wild ones that you use to set the project. focus on project standards (and already there is a lot to do).

thanks for the link to that of nirvana. What do you mean when you say that for system families you use '' container file ''?

time ago I created a template file that contained everything and although the projects were in embryonic phase they weighed a lot. I now have two templates, one containing only some more used annotations from which I start with the new projects, another containing all model families from which I go to draw through copy/paste or with the revit tool "transfer standard" (if so it is called in Italian) in case I have to import more families at once.

It is something that the community of revit has embraced for a while. This is a very normal project file dedicated to the storage of specific system families, walls, stairs, floors, etc. you open individuals what you need in view 3d and with ctrl+c and ctrl+v copi in the project file only what you really need.

Hi.

interesting. thanks to all for the support given to me.

I think therefore that in the light of the advice you gave me I think I will proceed creating a template with annotations, materials, and types of view set according to my needs and some container files containing ready system families.
