Revit Template

A strong project template is essential to establish consistency, provide approved content, and ensure the Revit model is efficient throughout the life of the project. LVL8 can help you map out and edit your current template in three steps:

  1. Road Map. We map out your office needs, the structure of the new template, and the timeline to completion.

  2. Execution. We make edits that are informed and approved during regular meetings

  3. Testing. We perform Live Demos to test the functionality of the template on a real project and make final adjustments.

Revit Template is the first service we recommend because it provides the quickest Return On Investment.

VIEWS AND SHEETS

Views and sheets already setup. You shouldn’t have to create views and sheets every time you start a new project. Bulk editing and removing unwanted views and sheets it’s much faster than creating them from scratch.

View templates. Consistency in graphics, visibility, and filters throughout views of the same type. We can also show you how to selectively transfer settings from one view template to another.

Working and coordination views. Separate views that are setup/color coded to facilitate internal and multidisciplinary coordination.

Sheet templates. Creating sample sheets with recurring information (general notes, schedules, legends) that can easily be copied can be a real time saver throughout the life of a project.

Titleblock management. Tools to align titleblocks from one sheet to another so it’s easy to swap titleblocks of different sizes.

CONTENT

2D and 3D Families: Commonly used parametric content.

Graphics: text notes, dimensions, symbols.

General sheet/notes information

DATA MANAGEMENT

Schedules. They should be ready in the template so that they populate automatically as you design (whether they are internal or to be published)

Code/calculation sheets that are ready to be customized for the project.

OPTIMIZATION

Review and purge duplicates: Approve standard content and eliminate unnecessary items that can lead to confusion and mistakes.

Reduce the amount of families: Combine multiple families as different types of the same family where possible.
