Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to create a Revit template from scratch, along with the main settings that need to be included in the template to improve productivity at the project level.

We explained how to organize views, sheets, schedules, and all of the information in the model for a faster and easier way of managing the information that is available. These settings are relatively important and of high priority; however, this doesn't mean that these are the unique settings that need to be added to the template.

You also learned what should be modeled and what the impact would be on the Revit performance and productivity.

Productivity should be achieved when adding all the necessary standards to the template file and making sure they will be used across all projects. Whatever is essential and required as a Standard must be added or improved within the template.

Some of these tasks that we touch base on can be automated by using specific third-party pieces...
