Figure 4.47
additive template
approach
In contrast, the subtractive approach, shown in Figure 4.48, uses a single master template
that contains all standard settings and content and relies on the project teams to remove and
purge unused content. Although the file size of these templates tend to be larger, graphic
settings are easier to manage within a single file.

aggregating Template Data
Whether you are managing the settings between templates or developing a project with
multiple templates in an additive approach, you have useful tools within Revit to help share
data between projects, such as Transfer Project Standards, Insert Views From File, and Insert 2D
Elements From File.
Transferring Project Standards
You can easily share Revit families between project files by loading their RFA files; however,
most other types of content must be transferred with the Transfer Project Standards command.
Types of elements commonly transferred with this command include, but are not limited to, the
following:
Materials
System family types (Walls, Floors, Roofs, Stairs, and so on)
Text and dimension styles
Filled regions
Grid and level types
Schedules
