Define project template settings to maintain consistency throughout projects.
- Project information. This includes information such as the name of the project, the project number, the client name, and so on.
- Project settings. For example, you can predefine line styles for components and lines, fill patterns for materials, project units, snapping increments for model views, and so on.
- View templates. Use view templates to ensure adherence to office standards and achieve consistency across construction document sets.
- Families. These include system families and loaded families. You can modify or duplicate system families (for example, walls) as necessary for a project. You can also load families, for example, commonly used families, custom families, and title blocks. See
Load Families.
- Project Views. Predefine plan views, levels, schedules, legends, sheets, and so on.
- Visibility/graphics settings. Visibility and graphic settings are specified for the project in the Object Styles dialog. If necessary, you can override settings on a view-by-view basis.
- Print settings. Predefine printers and print settings.
- Project and shared parameters. Predefine project parameters and identify a shared parameter file.
