Use project templates as a starting point for new models. Use the default templates, or define custom templates to enforce office standards.
A project template can include view templates, loaded families, defined settings (such as units, fill patterns, line styles, line weights, view scales, and more), and geometry, if desired.
Project templates use the file extension RTE.
As installed, Revit provides several templates for different disciplines and types of building projects. The templates are stored in the following location:
You can also create custom templates to address specific needs or to ensure adherence to office standards.
When creating a model, select the template that best reflects your discipline and intent. The list of templates is available on the New Project dialog. The list includes the Revit default templates and your custom templates.
