Description
It's a given that your Revit template should be oriented to your company standards and workflows. But wouldn't it be great if your Revit template could also guide project staff in their daily tasks, and provide some model checks and model management workflows? We'll share our goals and methods, what should be in the template, and what and how to store outside. We'll explore the process of cyclical template rebuild in a small or large multistudio company. We'll demonstrate creative use of colors and patterns with view filters to produce accurate documentation and QA model checks. We'll dive into practicalities of clean rebuild, tools, and workflows. We'll discuss commercially available tools, and share our in-house scripts and code. We'll speak from more than 12 years of experience improving Revit templates and their practical implementations multiplied by many experts who worked on our templates during that time.
