Creating a Project from the Recent Files Window

The Recent Files window can list up to 5 templates under Projects. A project template provides a starting point for a new project, defining settings, styles, and basic information. Templates can simplify project setup, standardize project documentation, and ensure adherence to office standards.

As installed, the software lists one or more default templates. However, you or your BIM manager may have changed or added more templates to the list.
