FAQs

What year is this template?

This template has been created in Revit 2023, which is the version I am using for my professional practice.

The template will work in Revit 2023 and newer versions.

Will this help me with rendering and 3D views?

Probably not too much. I do have some view templates simple 3D views, but I do not use Revit for full on rendering and 3D work.

Are there lots of 3D families and stuff?

Not really. I use a simple couch, simple chair, simple bed, simple toilet, etc, etc. etc. These work for me in PLAN and are good enough in 3D for my clients to understand the space we are creating for them. I do not have a huge library of every possible door style with different hardware sets.

Who is this template meant for?

Architects, engineers, designers, draftpersons and maybe a super-motived homeowner doing SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL projects in the US and maybe Canada.

I am a practicing architect in the US, exclusively working on single family residential projects. This is the exact template I use to start all my projects and has almost everything I need to get from existing conditions through construction documents.

Can I get a refund?

I'm sorry, but I can not offer refunds. This is a downloadable product, there is no returning it. Please view the videos above to see exactly what's in this template, what it's good for and what it ISN'T good for.
