Great job Mike. I'm architect from Brazil, I'm always watching your videos, your didactic way of teaching makes me understand a lot about revit. Thank you !
I’m completely fascinated on how you teach revit. Keep it up! I have one questions how can I create concrete wall panels in revit or can I find a website to download a revit family for a wall concrete panel
Revit has Object Styles pre-set for each category, and you can simply change them to whatever you want. There are also many Line Styles to choose from and a button to make more. There are only 16 different Line Weights in Revit. You can’t make more. But 16…That’s plenty. :)
Enjoyed the video. Very good beginning thoughts on template creation. Wondering if you might create a video on best practices for naming conventions.. Such as for families, system families etc? Thanks
@@miketaylor8211 That would be great! Just something thst would help guide to some sort of method. There are so many elements in Revit to name its difficult to organize without being overly complex! All the best!
You are easy to listen to and learn, thanks. Ok, I finished a new Residence and it's under construction. Now the Client wants to add an ADU and a Storage Barn on the same property. I would like to make separate building files for these but, within the original project file so I can easily make different permit submittals using the same Site and Grading Plan information. I tried setting up the new structures as new Groups, but I found that that was not going to work. What's the best way to separate multiple structures in one project. Or is this advisable ?
You can easily add other structures to the project. Yes they will be separate models...linked into the main model... but they are ONLY GEOMETRY. You can do all the dimensions and annotation in the one main model.
Mike, I have made an .rte. did all the families and everything. but now, I create a new project. So, where and how do I bring in that .rte file or how do I bring in my template into my .rvt file thanks
To reduce the size of the template you should look for what is causing the biggest issue. Like: get rid of any extra IMAGES or FAMILIES that you do not absolutely need. Those can bring the template size down if you purge them. A material will only be about 1K size.
Yes.. Worksets have to be added to each project. Worksets are only available AFTER a project has Worksharing turned on. One time: I tried creating a Generic Project, turned on Worksharing and setup the Worksets. I then used THAT project as my template. To do that you simply open it and use SaveAs to start a project. I fount it was simpler to just start from scratch each time since all projects are different. Hope that helps.
@@miketaylor8211 If you use pretty much the same worksets for each project. Is there a way to "Copy Paste" (for lack of a better expression) them from one project to another?
Great teaching style! Always enjoy seeing other peoples' takes on templating. Big fan of including explanation/info views as well!
Templates are always changing too. Whenever I discover something new... I quickly implement it into my template. =)
Thanks Mike great ExPLANation
great technique to share what you know with someone who wants to learn !
Great Information!! Really enjoy your videos! Very informative!
I just love you Sir..!❣ The way you are explaining is very impressive even the def can understand the Revit. I Love you...!
Great video

GREAT KEEP GROWING LOVE FROM PAKISTAN
Thanks, could you also show how to include object styles, line styles and weights, fonts, etc. in your template?
Great suggestion! I'll make a new video to show those items!
@@miketaylor8211 sir.plz.a.make.a.video.on how to add object style,line style ,and line weight font etc in templates..thanku

@@miketaylor8211 Sir is the video is ready- I love to watch :) love your way of teaching- you are an amazing person.
What about if we just copy the Revit file and paste it with different name and then start a new project ?
template created...ahhh...now on with some hempcrete projects!
Merciless Lesson- Wow-Awesome-Thanx YOOO!!
Enjoyed the video. Very good beginning thoughts on template creation. Wondering if you might create a video on best practices for naming conventions.. Such as for families, system families etc? Thanks
Great idea. Naming conventions really help keep organized. Each firm has their own way of doing it, but I will make a video about naming! Thanks.

Mike,
I have made an .rte. did all the families and everything.
but now, I create a new project.
So, where and how do I bring in that .rte file
or how do I bring in my template into my .rvt file
thanks
how to minimize the template sizes such as how to delete default material which is regenerating even if i delete

Dynamo or pyrevit can make worksets fairly easily. Try out my package called Crumple in dynamo which can make worksets from a list of strings (text).
