Transferring project standards

00:02

After completing this lesson,

00:03

you will be able to understand transfer project standards,

00:07

transfer war types and transfer view templates.

00:11

The objective domains covered are 2.1 D transfer system,

00:15

family files between projects

00:17

and 5.4 A transfer and review project standards.

00:23

You can copy standards from one project to another with project standards.

00:27

This is useful when transferring system family files and project settings that

00:31

you may have used on previous projects to a new project.

00:35

Some of the items that you can transfer are shown below

00:38

system family types,

00:40

global parameters, line weights materials, view templates and object styles,

00:46

annotation styles, color field schemes and field patterns and print settings.

00:52

Go ahead and open up the model 041 transfer in project standards.

00:57

The model opens in a 3d view.

01:01

In this particular model,

01:02

you can see that we have a number of different system families set up.

01:06

So here we have some basic wall styles already configured

01:09

as well as some ceilings, roofs, floors and so on.

01:14

Our intention here is to copy some of these

01:16

war styles from this project into a new project.

01:20

So let's start by creating our new project.

01:24

Click file,

01:26

then you

01:27

and then project

01:30

in the new project dialogue box. Let's select structural templates

01:34

and then click. OK.

01:38

So our new project has now been started

01:41

to begin the process of transferring project standards, select the manage ribbon

01:48

and then select transfer project standards

01:53

in the select items to copy dialog box.

01:55

You'll notice here that we could select the file that we're copying from.

01:59

There are only two files open. So consequently, we've only got one choice here.

02:02

But of course, we could have several models open in rev.

02:05

It, therefore, we'd need to select the correct one to copy from

02:10

what we're then seeing is the various different

02:12

styles and standards listed in the dialogue box.

02:16

I'm going to begin by checking none.

02:19

And then we'll select war types.

02:23

Let's go ahead and select, ok,

02:26

here rev, it's detected that we've already got certain war types set up.

02:30

So I'm going to say here new only.

02:36

Ok. So you can see that we've got some warnings down here.

02:38

So rev, it's just informing us that we've already got a family called En

02:42

Reveal

02:42

Brick

02:43

Course. So it's just renamed that to uh En

02:45

Reveal

02:45

Brick course one.

02:47

And of course, we've got another uh warning in here as well about a conflict,

02:50

but rev it will just rename those with a sequential number.

02:55

So let's now take a look in our new project. If we open up the family's folder

03:01

and then we open up walls

03:02

and then basic wall,

03:04

we can now see all of those new styles of wall have been copied through.

03:12

Next, we transfer some view templates

03:14

on the manage ribbon. Again, select transfer project standards

03:20

in the select items to copy dialog box check none.

03:25

And here we'll see view templates.

03:29

Let's go ahead and select. OK?

03:32

And again,

03:33

here you can see that we've got some duplicate types set up but they are different.

03:36

So in this case, we're gonna overwrite all of these types.

03:41

OK? And now if we select view

03:44

and view templates

03:46

and we manage the view templates,

03:49

we can now see in the view templates,

03:50

dialogue box that we've successfully copied all of

03:53

our view templates across into this active project.

03:57

This can be very useful when previous projects have been created

04:00

and you want to emulate the styles from that previous project,

04:04

go ahead and select, OK?
