Great video thanks for the template.

Thanks, and you are very welcome!

[@Susan508.1]

@Ben I figure it out! I thought I was buying this template when I purchased your template. But now I see that the template you are using in this video is something else.

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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.

[@josephnguyen7917]

Hi Ben I wondering if the Template can be use for both Imperial and Metric system ? If I start with In, can I later convert to Metric when needed ?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

The template does come with Imperial and Metric versions, so I'd recommend starting with whichever one you want to end up using. It's easy to switch between Imperial and Metric units in a project, but that only gets you so far. The file itself will be in the new units, but many things in Revit won't change. Anything with a name, like 2X6 Wall won't change. Even though Revit will convert a 5.5" stud into mm or cm, that might not be the exact metric standard, or vice versa. I did my best in creating the metric version, but I am not well versed in metric standard dimensions. Speaking of dimensions...any dimension type that is not set to "Use Project Standards" will continue showing whatever it was set to, and that's most of them. So if you start with the Imperial template and then change the file units to metric, you can work in metric, but a lot of the dimension types available might still report feet and inches, unless you change them. And it's like that with a LOT of things, so short answer is yes you can always change units, but to make the most out of the template it's best to start with the correct units.

"Comic Sans or Papyrus" 😂😂

[@pixelCH]

The templet is amazing ! i have problem that when i make a section line it is not shown in the view or any where unless i change the view templet to Foundation plan

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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.

[@pixelCH]

[@sergiocolchado4702]

Hello, I just bought the template and I would like to know where I can activate the section line in the "30 x 40schematic plan" template

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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.

[@AWX02A]

Can I use with sketchup layout to matching style and line weight?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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

[@danielarruda7413]

Hello, i'm thinking about buying it. But in my county we use meters. is it possible to change the template to meters?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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.

Hi, I bought the Revit template about two years ago.. one major issue I'm having is the use of curtain walls, the one loaded on the template has the feature of a real solid wall.. and it blocks any form of me uploading the revit curtain walls (the glass) This has been really frustrating.

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

What do you mean it blocks you from uploading?

[@guillz925]

Could be a shot in the dark since this video is older but will this template work with Archicad or would the AutoCAD version be better? Thanks

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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.

[@guillz925]

@@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.

What door and window families are included in the template? This is my problem at the moment, as I couldn't find this information on the 30x40 website.

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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.

Hi Ben I purchased Eric's 30x40 Template and I am running into a few issues with Revit 2023 and the Solar Plan Editor. It appears that i dont have the same editor/properties window as your tutorial. Please advise? Also I am interested in your Revit tutorial courses, should I be concerned about any issues running Revit 2023?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Please email me, [e-mail] 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.

Hi Ben. Love the template and want to buy it. Only thing looking to find out is if this would import into Archicad and be usable?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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.

[@africandreamchild]

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

30X40 Design Studio is the architecture firm run by Eric Reinholdt. He has a great channel here on KZbin. 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.

Great video and I'm considering purchasing it. Are the font types in this file or your file "ALL CAPS"? If not are there any in either file that are all caps?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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.

[@dascorp1]

Hi, Hyperfine Architecture, could you outline if we can apply this template to existing project? if so what would be the flow? "Transfer project standard" seems not to overwrite annotation styles and linetypes form the template. Is it possible in to import template and overwrite post factum generation of file or it applies to new files only.

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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.

[@leonewart277]

Hello, I am considering purchasing the 30x40 Revit template but I would like to know if it has Phases already set up?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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: [e-mail]

[@sakhumzitima3213]

Hi, I am interested in buying your template but I'm wondering if would it work fine for structural engineering discipline and do you have it in metric units as well?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

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.

[@dconserv]

My section marker heads are still the default Revit blue and won't change to the red - I have changed all necessary things but still blue. The tails have changes fine. Any help?

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.

It comes with instructions to convert to metric. Pretty easy. Change Length and Area and maybe a few more in Project Units.
