Strategies for Making Templates |
Different architectural firms address template files in one of two ways: generic, one-size-fits-all office templates; or project-type–specific templates. Some companies focus on one type of building (healthcare, office, retail, and so on) where a single template is sufficient, and others do a wide range of projects and may even work across cultures with very different requirements between project types. If you work all over the globe or have many types of projects, then a generic office template probably isn’t the best strategy. Instead, create new templates for each type of project. On the other hand, if you’re focused on predictable, similar projects, you can start each project from one template.
Don’t overburden your template with too many elements—especially if you don’t intend to use them all. You’ll experience better performance when launching Revit and reduce the file size footprint of your model by starting out with a lean template.
When creating your own personalized template, avoid starting from an empty file (No Template); use an existing RTE file. You’ll save yourself a lot of time by doing this |
