While this tried and tested approach has been a staple for AEC and MEP experts, recent years have seen them turn to custom <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit design <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">templates, the advantages of which can be extraordinary when properly implemented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Convenience of Custom Revit Templates<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit designs <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can be approached in near innumerable ways. But regardless of which method is employed, very rarely will a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">designer, engineer <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and other relevant parties start from scratch &#8211; instead opting for a template. Custom templates go a step further, adding incredible potential to these already sturdy starting points.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a multi-disciplinary practice, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BIM integration <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">involves various parties collaborating and working in unison. Custom <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit design <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">templates can help bridge the gap between these parties, providing a clearly defined environment to work in.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imperial or metric?

By following these 7 simple steps, you can set up a custom <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit design <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">template, adaptable to any type of project, improving team productivity by leaps and bounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Standard Template<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit\u2019s standard template was created with many disciplines in mind. It hosts an impressive range of functionalities &#8211; hidden and apparent, to optimize <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">design engineering<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Start creating your custom <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit design <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">template based off this solid foundation, to avoid beginning from the very minute basics. At the end of our custom build, you can simply save the template as a brand new file.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prefixes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this step, we will attach custom prefixes at the beginning of every element, to help easily distinguish them from elements in a standard <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit design <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">template. This is a lengthy one time process, but one that will save time and circumvent any confusion in the future.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Families<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is very common for lengthy monikers of family &gt; element relationships to get cut off in a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit design<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We suggest using shorthand and highly readable abbreviations for elements in your custom template. Additionally, elements belonging to the same family will have similar abbreviations, albeit with incremental numerical values. So for example, elements such as windows would be denoted as WIN1, WIN2, WIN3, etc.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lines<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By default, lines are labeled as medium, heavy, etc. These labels can be modified to better represent what type of line is being chosen (dotted, dashed, solid), the color of the line and even line width. Furthermore, you can even edit the exact line weight corresponding to different scales and create a highly customized <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit design <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">template.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Views<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding a numerical prefix to views can help organize them in hierarchical or sequential order, improving collaboration between different teams and reducing error incident rates. This will also clearly structure your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit design<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Units<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on where the client comes from, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BIM service providers <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">may be asked to work in either Imperial or Metric units. This issue of unit conversion can be tackled in two ways. The traditional approach is to create two separate templates, one for each unit type. Such an approach requires twice the work when any modifications have to be made. A far simpler approach is to use one single <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit design <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">template, with families of elements duplicated and appropriate suffixes attached. For example, a molding family would be segregated into both unit types as \u2018Moulding(IMP)\u2019 and \u2018Moulding(MET)\u2019.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting Page<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit even offers an option to create your own starting view page, so every time you fire up the software you are greeted by the chosen page. By default, Revit opens the last worked on view. If this view happens to be a particularly bulky one, it can eat up memory, space and a lot of time. Implementing a startive view page in your custom <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revit design <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can help prevent all of the above.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope our article helped you optimize your designing process!
