Load them all in the template, and start assigning them to the system families. Make them all, then save them all in your Firms Annotations folder. Note: Labels are family specific, so figure out the firm font style, size, etc, first. Edit Family, Save As (to an entirely new directory) and start making annotations that look like what you firms standards are. If Autodesk has one in there, chances are you need it. NOT doing these first is why there is a reputation that Revit cant look like your office used too) I start with the Imperial Library folder called “Annotations.” If you’re in RME or RST it is different, but I do the same thing there, with the appropriate folder. THEN, open your first blank TITLEBLOCK, and do the CAD trick, import the dwg OTO, and mark that with reference planes. My advice? Name them Origin N/S and Origin E/W, pin them, and call it a day. Now, you can turn on the Project Base Point / Survey point, and mark THAT with reference planes. dwg with nothing but an X drawn at 0,0,0 Origin to Origin, marking that spot with reference planes, and pinning it. In the old days it meant imported a CLEAN. It may seem silly now, but when you realize it isn’t where you thought later, you’ll me bad. Make the directory.Keep your “Office Content” separate from the Autodesk content. On the office network, somewhere all Revit users can access. It also assumes you have the Revit OOTB library installed somewhere.ġ. This guide assumes you have started with an absolutely blank file. Explanations about the order will be included, and each may be expanded in to a longer topic on its own. The following is a list (and a BRIEF explanation) of the order I PERSONALLY have gone in, when building a Revit Template. Many people I encounter wonder and inquire about the importance of having a GOOD Revit Template to start from, and I would assert that it’s the single most important thing in improving efficiency, quality, clarity, and consistency in your Projects.
