I'm wondering what best practices there are for rolling out a project in revit. By "Roll-out" I mean, we have a prototype design that we're applying to many different sites. I've got the prototype created in revit w/ organized project browser, families, etc. The big question is this: is it best to leave all the geometry in the template file and adjust the proto to the site? Or, would it be better to start w/ a clean slate (geometry only) and insert families (like restrooms, breakroom counter, etc.) I can see advantages to either method, but I also see disadvantages for each.

In my experience, it is easier to "delete" unneeded content than to try to add it.

I'd start with a fully developed prototype model and then delete content as needed.
