What is the difference between our templates and the templates you get from Revit out of the box. Watch this short video and see some of the differences that will save you time, and help you be more productive. You might be wondering why are we selling Revit Templates. Well from time to time I work with larger Architectural companies and give them a little more horse power when they need it. One time I was asked to come in at the end of a project and help wrap it up. I thought this would be an easy little project. But because they didn't even have standard views at correct scales, there were no sheets set up, and they didn't have standard components our fee was twice what it should have been. Now I know that firms all have their different standards, so what use can this template be? First there is ton of content. You will see some of it in the video and more in the images below. We have loaded the most used content that our firm uses so that you will be ready to go right from the gates. There is no searching around the internet for inconstant content, get everything you need here on this site. Second, our sheets, and views are set up at the right scale and ready to plug-in and play. Finally, components are set up the way they would be constructed in the field. This will help with creating your construction documents. Main Benefits:
One thing I missed in the video is showing how many annotation symbols and other families we have that are not under the drop down component button. Take a look at one example, the annotation symbols. If you would like to see our templates click here. If you would like to see our furniture click here. Lastly, please if you enjoyed this post:

If you are in the beginning stages there might be a lot of dimensions, and tags that you don't need to show your clients. Because of this we have also made a Presentation view.
