Note that Frame Assemblies in the Template Project must be created with Shop Drawing Configuration defined in Configuration Files Location, which you will use in your current project. Assemblies were created for each wall, and assemblies can have different sheets with different compositions.Įxample sheets for wall with vertical siding: The template must have all different wall types modeled and framed, assemblies dimensioned, and sheets created.įor example, our sample Template Project has three Wall Types: one with the main frame only, the second with vertical nailers and horizontal siding, and the third with horizontal nailers and vertical siding. The content of this template depends on the individual needs of the user. In the picture above, you can see that the Template Project has three characteristic walls in it, with different wall structures and/or configurations used. With that in mind, you can create a Template Project from scratch or from your current project by removing all unnecessary information from it.

In addition, 2017 version projects cannot be used as Template projects, again because of the time issue – the Template project would have to be converted to the 2018 version during Assembly creation.

Your current, already-framed projects cannot be used as Template projects, as it would take too long to load because the Template project is opened during Assembly creation.

In Template Project, create Assemblies with all the layers that you’ll use in your projects (main frame, nailers, siding, sheathing, etc.) with defined Shop Drawing Configurations and Sheet Templates.įirst of all, a few things to take note of: (Note: see “Creating a Template Project” below.)

Template Project Location – where you store your Template Project, which is read by Configurations looking for Sheet Templates.

Configuration Files Location – where you store your general Shop Drawing Configuration (SDC) files.

Now you’ll have two locations you can browse to: In the new versions of Wood Framing software, we’ve managed to enhance this workflow: you will not have to create new sheet templates for your assemblies anymore, as you will be able to use the existing ones from the Template Project. But the Sheet Templates had to be created in each project for every configuration from scratch.

Then, when users would start the next project, configurations remain and could be used straight away.

In previous versions of our Wood Framing software for Revit, after creating an assembly with automatic dimensions and tags, users had to drag views to the sheets and then set those Sheets as Templates to create other Assemblies within that project. After getting so many user requests, from now on you will not have to create new sheet templates in every project over and over again. Wood and Metal Framing software for Revit has been enhanced once again to save you time on probably the least “fun” process – documentation.
