THEN, I will replace that wall with my wall and it's in the perfect spot.Ħ. I'll just copy the entire architect's wall, then strip off all the gyp board, etc by editing type. b) copy/monitoring walls is a pain because they center on the wall, not the core, so all your walls are off and need adjusting. I like making sure my copy/pasting is easy because I copy the architects walls and roofs and paste them into mine for two reasons: a) you can't copy/monitor roofs, so copy paste is your only option. Insert your model into the architects and move it to the right spot, this makes copy/pasting a lot easier.ĥ. put a reference plane cross hair over the Survey Point, Project Base Point. Set up a bunch of levels and views from the beginning. first thing i do when i start anew project is go to the 3D and delete the modeled stuff that's there.Ĥ.

I also included isolated foundations, footings, floors, roofs, a basic wall type of each (metal stud, wood stud, concrete, CMU) so people don't have to think as much. I put 3 steel beams, 3 steel columns, 3 concrete beams, 3 concrete columns, this way I can create all my schedules in my template and have them populated to make sure they look right, that way when other people start working on the model we aren't reinventing the wheel. Structural drawings are a bit smaller so you can afford to have a bit more modeled elements in there from the beginning. It sounds like you're working on details as well, create a separate file that contains all your details on sheets, that way you can insert entire sheets into your project.ģ. Somehow our original template was purged of all materials, so it's good to refresh.Ģ. Use the Revit Structural Template every other year or so and start from scratch in order to get the benefits of any new features.
