Thanks for watching " My Residential Revit Template: An Exclusive Look Inside "
Your plans are so clean and compact, very impressed. There's a lot of cool tips in the presentation aspect such as using a non-black color for anno text and printing in color in general. We've moved past the days of illegible 2D prints! The exploded view on S100 is particularly impressive, it's like looking at a LEGO guide.
Cheers! That’s the name of the game … we’re in Revit… we can make ANY type of view we want! 💪💪
My template is way more in depth and I am still evolving it, residential timber frame is my focus though and I do it every day. I cant say how much more efficient having a good template has made me, It has cut my time spent on a project down to a quarter of the time I used to spend.
Awesome! Perfect example as to when you have a specific type of work or market sector you SHOULD build a template that works for you! Thanks for tuning in!
A filter could be utilized to make the annotations color, that maybe more helpful than modifying the family itself.
I 100% agree on the browser organization. Having it well thought out and organized can save HUGE amounts of time looking for views and sheets.
I have 3 different browser organizations set up for both views and sheets; Standard, Multi-Building, Renovation (Phase). Each have the same basic organization (Multi-Building and Reno are the same as the standard with one higher organization by Building and Phase).
Once users understood the concepts, and a few lessons on how to customize it if needed for certain use case scenarios adoption was incredibly fast.
Love it! 💪
@22:38 Your section shows the roof finish in line with the structure. How would you show the plywood extending beyond the structure in a much LARGER scale wall section? Thanks
Firstly thanks for sharing your workflow, I'm wondering do you have a tutorial starting from scratch/zero a residential project? Would love if it was this project ;)
I have a few series on here... Check out this playlist (ua-cam.com/play/PLYwAldjdFhtxSFnWYBra3JSxPWOwMMcau.html&si=sXlAbOBd2HlWwVBb) and this one (ua-cam.com/play/PLYwAldjdFhtwis-SGjyDYWor07zD6axQr.html&si=IxWQKJfcGVcDN1T0)
After 10+ years of mastering Archicad I always wonder why I didn’t start the transition to Revit sooner.
Great templates..im new to Drafting and plans have always been hard to read, but this simplifies them and is easy to read. Can you convert all families perimeters etc to metric?
Thanks! Yes, technically you can convert to metric but things like type names, etc… will take some serious time to convert
What do you do with the fonts for text styles? Did you pick a font that standard windows PC's have installed?
Yes I actually use Arial narrow for that exact reason! Works on ALL computers!
@@TheRevitKid thanks!!
Great template. Is it also available in metric system.
it is only imperial… however, you can flip the project units in Revit with only a few clicks. The biggest issue is the family naming and types will not change (for example, 36” Window… will stay being called 36” Window…)
Do you have residential structural templates? It will really help us. We appreciate your kindness and work.
I don’t have a structural template but I have structural elements in my template and sample project … for small scale residential I do a lot of structural work myself as the architect.
@@TheRevitKid how can I buy your template? What type of structural elements/ details in your template? Can you help us in our projects? Thanks…
@@hazimalwaali9507 The template is available to all BIM After Dark Community members so you have to become a member to download... i is a residential architecture template with structural elements that are typically used for residential stick built wood buildings...

@@TheRevitKid thanks
I’m a Revit modeler from the Netherlands I was wondering how to setup your tabs as color tabs
Hi! Could you please tell my (DM) how much money do you earn as a Revit Modeler in the Netherlands? Or how much is the average salary there.
Thank you very much
I am using a free add-in called PyRevit >> ua-cam.com/users/liveCBDUTEbSXXk?si=fSXVH3OvJktgVK3G
Hi. How do you get those arc leaders? Is it a family?
It’s just an option on the text leaders … out of the box in Revit
@@TheRevitKid I did not know that one. Neither the guys I spoke with. Thanx for the good videos.
@@PintYup yup been there forever: help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2024/ENU/?guid=GUID-E0EF3C68-8187-459E-8D60-C44B739EDB08
