Updating The Template

[philipnoland]

This sounds kind of novice but.

I have recently created a parameter in my titleblock. Worked out great, however I need to have this happen in about 26 other projects. I assume these changes need to happen in the project template and saved. Is it as easy as that. I just don't want to loose anything or completely screw up my current settings, data, components. Basiclly I don't want to purge anything out by updating my template and reloading it.

This is possible, right?

The template is only what loads when you first start Revit, or when you start a new blank project. You should load your new title sheet into the template, yes, but you will also have to reload the sheet in each project in which you need your new sheet to appear.

Thanks for the response.
I am trying some things out.
How do you reload the template?

maybe I am missing something

Just open the template file, load your sheets, and then save it.

Or you can just hit the New Project button, reload your sheets, and then do a Save As and navigate to the location of your template, making sure the file name has a RTE file extension.

So what I did was created a new template based off of one of my many projects. Deleted all the information about the model. Saved it.

Then leaving it open I "transfered the project standards" from the opened template to my project and presto.

Thanks for walking me through that one.
