thank you for this video, but if we have a lot of famlies (50 for example), should i do the seem way : edit family => upload to another project ? thanks egain

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

If you need all the types that are pre-set in the family I think you need to do it that way. If you just need whatever type of the family that's in the first project to be in the second then you can just copy them over with cut and paste. If you are typically going to use all 50 of these families you should put them in your project template.

[@michaeldaimei7260]

Thanks. What will be the best procedure to rename those family, line style, dim style . . Etc etc after transfering to suit to the new standard requirement?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Line styles you can go to Manage/Additional Settings/Line Styles and rename them all there. Dimensions, just select a dimension string then Edit Type (ET if you have my custom shortcuts loaded) and choose Rename. For Families, scroll down in your Project Browser below where your sheets are and expand the Families rollout. All the custom families for this template start with 30X40_ so you can just right click on those and rename them.

@@HyperfineArchitecture Thanks. Cheers!

[@harutanaka3647]

how would you transfer building section symbol from project to project?

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

You can do that with transfer project standards, though I think you might have to "rebuild" the sections types by making sure the right Section Tags and Callout Tags came over.
