30x40 Design Workshop Revit Template 

Great content

Thank you!

Glad this helped you out!

Hi! A query: do the line thicknesses print well on the 30x40 template? I'm thinking of buying it too! :)

Great! This is the 30X40 Template that I made and support on behalf of Eric Reinholdt. Though I also have my personal template available, which is what you got. Both are good, but do slightly different things for your Revit setup.

It’s not the joke, it’s the way you tell it ;-)

@Natalia Haha, I'm late but I loved that joke. Anyone taking that serious probably isn't watching a video of this caliber

Thanks, and you are very welcome!

There is a metric version available. Actually just updated it this morning because the units were meters but some names were still imperial, but everything is all metric now.

@@HyperfineArchitecture I just bought and saw that! It's amazing!! Thank you

There’s a barn door family and a pocket door family I had to make/alter for the 30X40 style. Any other doors and windows would be Revit standard.

The floor plans have a view filter that hides sections unless the section view is placed on a sheet. It’s possible I forgot to add the filter to the foundation plan.

@@HyperfineArchitecture How i can unhide it i can't find any thing for section line in the view filter And please what is the right why to change the scale without make any change in the grid or dimension

The plan view template has a filter that hides section and elevation markers unless those sections and elevations are also placed on sheets. To see your section markers either place those sections on sheets or duplicate the view to create a working view and turn the filter off in that view. I would do both.

Yes. I don't use big printer.

@@LOLOANAIS Okay, thanks!

Please email me, ben@hyperfinearchitecture.com For the solar thing, I think you probably need to have the shared parameters file, which I can help with. For my Revit courses, you’ll be just fine with 2023, though in the courses I use Revit 2019. The course is about concepts and fundamentals, so 99% of it will transfer. 2023 does some cool stuff that 2019 can’t, so that kind of thing isn’t covered.

@@HyperfineArchitecture I HAVE TEH SAME ISSUE, it doesn´t appear in my draws or sheets

@@sebastianneumann5072 the diagram is a Detail Component. You need to place it in a view.

It definitely won’t work in ArchiCAD and I doubt the AutoCAD version would work either. But you could use either version to reverse engineer and recreate it in ArchiCAD.

@@HyperfineArchitecture I'll think about it some more and might take a shot with the AutoCAD file. Appreciate the response and all of your ARE material, it's been a big help.

There is no free lunch

Hi Sakhumzi, sorry for the slow response. The 30X40 template would work for structural engineering, but it doesn't come with many structural families, so you'd have to load most of your own. You'd mostly be getting the styling and organization stuff. There is a metric version included. The Ben Norkin Architecture template has more structural items, like joists, beams, columns, etc, but only as much as an architect might typically show. And no metric version, sorry.

What do you mean it blocks you from uploading?

No, I don’t think so. There is an AutoCAD version and a Revit version.

I made them in Revit 2019 so you will be able to use it in Revit 2021, but I haven’t tested it so I don’t know if anything will break. I tried it in 2020 and it was fine.

Hi Leon, The 30X40 Template doesn't make any changes to the default Revit phases or phase graphic overrides or project browser. This template is more about styling views than organizing your model and drawing set. You can email me directly if you have any questions: ben@hyperfinearchitecture.com

Hi Mohab. I don’t think this will be particularly helpful for interior design. If you do a lot of floor plans maybe, but there’s not much here specific to interior elevations.

Hey Grant. I have never used ArchiCad, but I would not expect anything to transfer from Revit to ArchiCad except for an IFC file, which I think is the model only. Funny though, I was just talking to someone today who has the template and then made their own in ArchiCad to match the styling.

Hyperfine Architecture Ben thanks for such quick reply! That is freaky! If that person is up for it happy to pay them same price for the template? I do like the styling but little time at moment to be doing crossover to Archicad. 😤 When in a big practice use Revit but Archicad for my own stuff. Be great if he is open to it. Thanks Grant

@@africandreamchild send me an email. Couple issues here I would need to clear up.

30X40 Design Studio is the architecture firm run by Eric Reinholdt. He has a great channel here on RU-vid. This template will help you create drawings with the same style he uses. The 30X40 name is meaningful to Eric’s practice, but doesn’t mean any particular size or format as it relates to this template.

@@HyperfineArchitecture Thank you! I'm subscribed to this channel

I wouldn't exactly say it that way, but sure...the 30X40 Schematic Template is mostly about graphics and admin things. It's not a collection of 3d items. If you're looking for a little more I've got a template of my own, right here: revit-stuff.teachable.com/p/revit-professional-template And as I'm in the middle of a rebrand, offering discounts on my stuff while I get the site and pages looking better.

Thanks, Craig! The 30X40 fonts are called Franklin Gothic and Oswald. They are both included with the template file, and they both have uppercase and lowercase characters. The fonts I use are Heinberg, Articulat CF and Colon Mono. Heinberg is caps only. These three fonts are not free, so I can't distribute them with any of my courses.

@@HyperfineArchitecture Thanks for the prompt reply, I've been looking for an "all caps" font, so thanks for the lead.

The template includes a metric version that uses metric units. The included schematic titleblock is still Arch D size.

You are correct, transfer project standards just brings those styles into your project, it doesn't replace the work that's already been done. You can pretty quickly do that too...go into any view, select a text type (or dimension string, whatever) then right click and do Select All Instances in Project. I think this is shortcut "SA" by default. Then with everything selected just use the Properties Browser to change them all to a new type. This MAY require you to go back and do some minor editing of all the text instances, realigning them, changing the size of the box, things like that. To apply the 30X40 Template to a new project I would transfer project standards and/or copy elements like in my other video. Then you can quickly apply the view templates to your views to get you 90% of the way there. Then use the method I describe above to change your text types and dimension types.

Do you have the TTF version of the fonts installed?

@@HyperfineArchitecture I’m not sure. Should I download that and install it to my computer or revit?

Yes. The 30X40 fonts are included in the available downloads. Copy them to the Fonts folder on your computer.

It will still look blue in Revit, should be ok when you print. Make sure you have "View Links in Blue (Color Prints Only)" unchecked.

Not immediately. The template is in 2019, so you can open it in 2020 and it will upgrade. I haven’t tested it out so I’m not sure if anything breaks when you do that. I’m keeping my professional practice on 2019 for now, so not sure when or if I’ll be doing any experimentation with 2020.

I have never tried. I'm sure the file would work, but I doubt it translates any of the included text or families.

@@HyperfineArchitecture TEXT AND FAMILY I CAN TRANSLATE IT BY MY SELF BUT ARE YOU SURE THAT THE COLORS OF THE LINE AND HATCH WOULD BE FINE

I don’t know why those would change, but I’ve never done it before. Have you previously opened files that were created in English Revit?

This happens to me sometimes too. If you are still having problems please send me an email. Ben@hyperfinearchitecture.com

There is a metric version included with the template. It sets the project units to metric and the dimension types, stair tags and a few other unit-related families are set to metric.

Probably not? It was a ton of work to make this AND I think Revit 2019 is a big upgrade over 2018. Are you able to transition to 2019?

No, not at the moment! This visual style represents me best but I’ll have to create a similar template myself. Thanks for the reply.

A lot of it is editing default Revit families to change the color and font selections. There are a few custom built families, like the sliding barn door, the wood pile, the background trees and the solar diagram detail component.

Hi Andrew. At 9:02 are the fonts I use for my professional practice. You can get them, but they are not free so I'm not allowed to distribute them. The fonts are: Red Text Note: Colon Mono (RGB: 194-21-37) Dimensions: Avenir LT (44-57-73) Room Tag Name: Heinberg (092-113-123) Room Tag Number: Avenir LT (092-113-123) Not Shown: Heinberg Textured in my logo.

@@HyperfineArchitecture I've installed avenir font, but I can't find it in revit, pls help..

@@EkoFitriyanto Revit needs TTF fonts. You probably have OTF fonts. You can find free converters online.

Looks like they are working. I think 522 is a timeout error. Maybe try again or from a different device?

It will work with 2021, though I haven’t tried it yet.

It comes with instructions to convert to metric. Pretty easy. Change Length and Area and maybe a few more in Project Units. Then change the Units Format in the dimension types because they are NOT set to Use Project Settings...they have custom overrides so you’ll need to set those to metric as well.

@@HyperfineArchitecture Can't believe I forgot to thank you for the response. Much appreciated.

@@sakhilenkomo6073 no worries. We actually ended up making a Metric version that comes with the template. So if you bought it you can use your receipt to go download the latest files and there's a metric one already set up for you.

It is in the 30X40 Revit Template. Check out the description for the link.

Do you know how to make our own?

It should work just fine in 2021, but I haven’t tested it myself.

It’s works thnx
