Creating a Project Using a Template

    Table of contents
    No headers

    Use this procedure when you want to be able to specify the template to use when creating the project.

    1. Click New (Project).
    2. In the New Project dialog, for Template file, click Browse.
    3. Navigate to the location of the desired project template, select the template file (with the file type RTE), and click Open.

      Revit provides several project templates, which reside in the Metric Templates or Imperial Templates folder in the following location:

      • C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\<product name and release>\Templates

      You can use one of these templates or create your own templates as needed to maintain corporate standards or to simplify the setup process for different types of projects.

    4. For Create new, click Project.
    5. Click OK.

    Revit creates a project file using the settings defined by the specified template. The default project name appears in the title bar of the window. To assign a different file name, click (Save As).

    • lisa49annTue May 3, 2011 5:28 amThe default installation location for the 2012 Revit templates is C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\\Templates. The metric templates are installed in a subfolder called \US Metric. It is possible that different customer sites chose an alternate location. ~ Lisa, Revit User Experience Team.
