For example, if you do a lot of standard mid-rise buildings you can preset typical levels (as shown below) along with the related Floor Plans, Ceiling Plans, and/or Structural Plans. The goal is to save time by using company standards, enabling you to concentrate on the design. What is the difference between Template Files and Resource Projects? Template FilesĪ project template is a file that contains information that can be used over and over to create new projects.
These tools don’t get a lot of attention, but they are a critical component of good BIM Management and make the designers' life a lot easier if the office standards are already in place and ready to use. In the guide we mention resource projects used in conjunction with template files for a more effective use of project planning and execution. I’ve been thinking a lot about template files for Revit projects as I am updating the Autodesk Revit BIM Management: Family and Template Creation learning guide for Autodesk Revit 2019 due out in early autumn.
