Project templates are commonly known as template files. These files contains predefined settings for projects for the display of annotations, graphics, and so on. In a project, these files contain predefined settings for units, mechanical components, electrical components, and piping components. Similarly, for the display of graphics, the template files contain predefined settings for materials, line styles, line weights, line patterns, and various symbols relevant to the MEP project.

When you install the Revit software, you will find in-built templates that are saved with. You can also create your own template based on the project requirement.

In Revit, any new template-based project inherits all families, settings such as units, fill patterns, line styles, line weights, and view scales , and geometry from the template. The use of template file is quite extensive and it helps in reducing the cycle time of a project. In the following sections, you will learn to create custom templates and then to use them in a structural project.

In Revit, there are various methods to create a custom project template. The common method is to open an existing template file and modify its settings based on the project requirement and then save it as a different template file.

You can also create a custom project template by starting a blank project file, defining all settings such as naming the viewports, creating levels, adding grids, and others, and then saving it as a template. For certain projects, you can create a template file which includes geometry that can be used repeatedly as a base for the new projects.

For example, if you have defined geometry for a hospital project and want to include this geometry whenever you start a new project, you can save the file that includes this geometry as a template.

Each time you open a project with this template, the geometry will be included. In Revit, you can create a new template file from a blank project file or use any of the default template files Mechanical-Default.

In the Template file area of this dialog box, select the None option from the drop-down list. Next, select the Project template radio button in the Create new area and choose the OK button; the Undefined System of Measurement message box will be displayed, prompting you to select the system of measurement that you want to use in your project, as shown in Figure You can select the Imperial or Metric option from this message box.

If you choose the Imperial option, a template file containing all default unit settings for the Imperial unit system will open. Similarly, if you select the Metric option, the template file containing default units for the Metric system will open.

After opening the template file, you can modify its existing settings based on your project environment and then save the modified file as a template file. In this dialog box, select a folder from the Save in drop-down list and enter a name for the template file in the File name edit box. After entering the file name, choose the Save button; the template file will be saved with the settings defined in the blank project file.

Figure The Undefined System of Measurement message box. You can also select the default template file, Systems-Default. To do so, select the Systems Template option from the drop-down list in the Template file area of the New Project dialog box, and then choose the OK button.

To speed up your project, you may be required to use predefined template files. These template files contain predefined information or settings pertaining to the project you need to start.

In this dialog box, ensure that the Project template radio button in the Create new area is selected. Now, to select the desired template file for your project, choose the Browse button; the Choose Template dialog box will be displayed. In this dialog box, browse to the desired folder to locate the template file. Next, select the template file from the folder and choose the Open button; the Choose Template dialog box will close and the New Project dialog box will be displayed again.

Choose the OK button; a new project file will open, which inherits all project settings from the selected template file. While creating a project template, you can predefine certain settings based on your project requirement. To start a new project template, you need to fill in the information specific to the project.

This information is useful while publishing or plotting the drawing. Next, you need to enter the project settings. These settings include units, snaps, the line styles for components and lines, fill patterns for materials, and more. After modifying the project settings, you can create settings for families.

The families in a project template can be system families and loaded families. While defining the settings for the project template, you can modify or duplicate system families for example, walls as required for the project. You can also load the commonly used families, user-defined families, and title blocks.

After setting families in the project template, you can modify or create settings for project views. The settings for the project information are discussed in the next section.

When you create a project template, you can also set the project information. To do so, choose the Project Information tool from the Settings panel of the Manage tab; the Project Information dialog box will be displayed, as shown in Figure In this dialog box, you can specify various settings related to the project information. To enter information regarding the organization name, organization description, building name, and author of the project, click on the value fields of their corresponding parameters and enter appropriate values in them.

Similarly, to edit the energy setting of the project, choose the Edit button in the value field under the Value column of the Energy Settings parameter; the Energy Settings dialog box will be displayed.

Specify the distance between the first and last elements. Use the Move To Last option. All remaining elements are evenly spaced between them. For example, if you need to change the line style and color for 2-hour fire-rated walls, you can create a filter that selects all walls in the view that have the 2-hour value for the Fire Rating parameter.

You can then select the filter, define the visibility and graphic display settings such as line style and color , and apply the filter to the view. When you do this, all walls that meet the criteria defined in the filter update with the appropriate visibility and graphics settings. Electrical Settings specify voltage definitions, power distribution systems, wiring parameters, cable tray and conduit settings, and load calculations.

Mechanical Settings determine the behavior and appearance of the ductwork, and piping for duct, piping, plumbing, and fire protection systems in a project. You use the Generate Layout tools to create piping or duct layouts to connect system components. When creating either a single-level or multiple-level layout, you use the same workflow.

The Interference Check tool can find intersections among a set of selected elements or all elements in the model. It can be used to prevent conflicts and reduce the risk of construction changes and cost overruns.

Before attempting this procedure, load the necessary tags for elements that need a tag. See Loading Tag Styles. Click Annotate tabTag panel Tag by Category. After you place the tag, you can change its orientation by selecting the tag and pressing Spacebar. If you want the tag to have a leader line, select Leader. Watch video 1. AEC Collection only.
