However this is the situation.  A project can be saved as a template if it is not workshared, but not the other way around.  In order to create a project from a template the solution is to do file NEW, then browse out to the template at which time you can choose your file that is a templete open it and it will come up as "Project 1" then you can do save as to where ever you need.

The other option is to change the last three letters of the revit file extension from rte to rvt - I try to not encourge this as it could possible lead to corupt files later on.]]> 1016@http://www.searug.org 'project' ghosted when try to 'save as' revit template 2010-08-31T17:35:00-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=296#1014
You basically get a roof - air space(structure) - finish ceiling.  This also work well in floor systems.]]> 1014@http://www.searug.org Roof thickness not showing correctly. 2010-08-30T11:22:21-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=290#1009
That does not really work in Revit 2010.  The panel schedules are waaaaaaaaaay better in 2011.  Most Electtrical Engineers are not using that feature in anything previous to 2011 because it is so broken.

Sorry but you should look at upgrading to get the new functionality.

I am not saying it is perfect, still having some trouble with the distribution panels and the switchboard panels but if you can take a bit of difference you should be able to get your loads to work out in the switchboard panel.

Plus you can edit the panel schedules to look the way you want (with a bit of work and some acceptance of how Revit is doing the calcs).

Sorry to sound like a cheerleader for this but the E world has been waiting for proper electrical stuff for 4 years now.]]> 1009@http://www.searug.org Revit MEP 2010 Electrical Equipment Switchboard Family 2010-08-13T11:41:13-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=295#1007 The model review tool can check for duplicates and clean them up at the same time]]> 1007@http://www.searug.org Delete duplicate items (especially text) 2010-08-09T19:02:46-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=294#1003 1003@http://www.searug.org August 18, 2010 Meeting RSVP 2010-08-07T15:04:56-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=293#1001
What are others doing to work with these issues and 3d views.]]> 1001@http://www.searug.org Using 3d Views 2010-07-28T15:26:41-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=292#1000
However we noticed that connectors would not work right on reference planes so we had to put back some 3D geometry, but in cases where we created that 3D back we greatly simplified the forms to reduce their footprint. We also found that a well modeled 3D form does not use much more than model lines, but typically 5%-10% more than symbolic lines multiplied by the number of instances of the family.  So our funriture is slowing the model down whereas our toilets are not so much.  Many of our fixtures that need connectors to be properly located are now modeled while furniture is still symbolic unless rendering is necessary.]]> 1000@http://www.searug.org Solid Extrusions vs Model Lines 2010-07-28T13:41:32-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=291#996 996@http://www.searug.org Wall Trim Command Problems 2010-07-23T10:42:42-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=289#992

Actually that is the prefered method with elevations because it prevents the two elevations "bugs" from being right on top of each other. We avoid elevation callouts alltogehter and use sections with a callout-Reference other view to the section or detail.

You current method is spot on.]]> 990@http://www.searug.org Referencing an elevation on an elevation, after the fact. 2010-07-09T11:13:52-05:00
