this forum is amazing.. what's the difference between copying project standards from a current project to a new project- or opening a copy of a blank project with all the standards in it? unless something like your current project will always have slightly updated standards to transfer or something? just a little theory question..

You can have a lot more set up in a template than you can transfer from an existing project. I don't have access to Revit right now so some of these may be transferable but in a template, you can have - schedules, legends, families, browser organization, view templates, title sheets fully setup, common drafting details. Some of these can be copy/clipped and pasted across the projects but that takes a lot more work.

" opening a copy of a blank project with all the standards in it? just a little theory question.. " if your talking theory, the above statemnet would be the definition of a template file. thus any new project you started with a template file would atleast have this basic set of standards in common as WWHub stated. i think your question is one of semantics. any file that you are using to establish standards for a new files becomes a template in essence. but you are correct about this, "this forum is amazing..." hth

just another tool for the same thing. sometimes you need to update projects or templates to the current standards. during the course of completing a project and some new standards have been argreed on, you always want to tranfer those to your template file in the end. maybe it's a standards that's just going to be used between a couple of projects. some of these things could just as easily be cut-n-pasted between projects. Transfer Project Standard is a formal Revit procedure for accomplishing this task

thanks for that great answer coreed.. and now that i have you "on the line" lol- i would like to get your expert opinion of something.. (am i picking your brain?) he he.. i understand about exporting an uncluttered version of my building to the civil engineer via DWG- but i'm wondering if i could or should bring all those civil 3d lines into revit to plot together will all the sheets.. or should the DWG drawing sheets just be sent to the building dept. along with the revit sheets? same for the plumbing and electrical.. seems like it would be nice to have all of it on one drawing set but i don't know if anyone does it that way..

You don't include the topographic lines, these along with an outline or building footprint will be shown in the grading and site plans prepared by the civil engineers
