What is Transfer Project Standards?
Transfer Project Standards allows you to copy important project settings from one Revit project to another. Instead of manually recreating line weights, materials, annotation styles, view templates, and more, you can simply transfer them over.
What can be transferred?
• Family types, including system families.
• Global parameters: Although duplicates get renamed.
• Line weights, materials, view templates, object styles.
• Mechanical, piping, and electrical settings.
• Annotation styles, fill patterns, color fill schemes.
• Print settings.
What Cannot Be Transferred
Now, here’s what doesn’t transfer using this tool:
• Floor Plan and Ceiling Plan view types
• Elevation view types
• Section view types
• Visibility settings for Revit links
• Loadable Families and Model-in-Place Families
Conclusion
Transfer Project Standards is a powerful way to keep your projects consistent and save a lot of rework.
Key takeaways:
1. Use it to copy system settings like materials, line weights, annotation styles, and view templates between projects.
2. Be aware of dependencies, transfer related items together to avoid broken references.
3. Not everything can be transferred, so sometimes you’ll still need to manually recreate certain view types.
4. Loadable Families and Model-In-Place Families can be copied or loaded into other projects using the different methods mentioned.
