Transfer Project Standards

Copy project standards from one project and apply them to another project.

Project standards include the following:

• Family types (including system families, but not loaded families)
• Line weights, materials, view templates, and object styles
• Mechanical settings, piping, and electrical settings
• Annotation styles, color fill schemes, and fill patterns
• Print settings

You can specify which standards to copy. Any object referenced by an object that will be copied is included in the transfer. For example, if you select a wall type and forget to copy the material, Revit copies it.
