1.2 Starting Revit Structure project by defining project template.
When you start Revit project, program asks project template to be used. Required
template can be saved from Options menu. Template to be used when modeling
Ruukki Panels is Ruukki Panel_english_RST2012.rte .
Project template contains existing Panels, drawing templates, materials schedules etc.
To define Revit template:
- Application Menu/Options,and from opening view select
tab File Locations. To field
Default template file select
( Ruukki

1.15 Using schedules for element positioning.
Created element schedule divides automatically different elements to own lines
according three filter values. These values are: element length, outside color and
inside color. If there are elements in the model that have identical values for all thesethree parameters, they will be scheduled in same line. In this case user can change
filtering settings from view properties/sorting and grouping
Below example of using schedules for positioning.
Open 3D view and schedule of grid line
A side by side.
- Activate first row of elements fromthe schedule and give position name
SPA-1-1. At the same time youactivate the row, selected elements are
also active in the 3d view.
- Continue positioning elements andrepeat for all grid lines.
Note!, When you apply same position for
several elements, you get Revit warning
Elements have duplicate Mark values .
This is notification of duplicate marks
and can be ignored.
