BIM Q&A | What is the difference between Revit building templates and structural templates?
What distinguishes Revit building templates from structural templates? Let’s explore the key differences.
There are several important distinctions:
1. Preloaded Family Types: Architectural templates typically include elements such as doors, windows, and furniture. In contrast, structural templates contain components like structural columns, frames, foundations, and steel reinforcements, which are usually absent from architectural templates.
2. View Settings: The default cut plane in architectural templates is often set at the window sill height, whereas in structural templates, it is usually positioned at the beam or slab level.
3. System and Drawing Settings: These configurations also vary between the two templates to suit their respective purposes.
