Linked Files for Project Templates
Mike has been tasked with creating his company project template. He
works for an HVAC design firm and has to link the architectural and
structural models whenever the company does a project. His various
consultants do things differently, but there are some common settings
he would like to add to his template to improve efficiency. Because
every project is different, he cannot have linked models in his template
file. Or can he?
Mike decides to link some dummy files into his template to act as
placeholders for the actual models he will receive from his consultants.
He creates a file called Arch.rvt and one called Struct.rvt and
links them into his template. The files are empty, so they do not add a
lot of bulk to his template, but they do give him the ability to create
visibility settings for linked files in his view templates.
When Mike uses his template to start a project, he can overwrite his
placeholder links with the actual models received from his consultants
by using the Reload From option in the Manage Links dialog box, and
all of his view settings will remain.
