Project Settings

Overview

Sometimes you may have a particular project that may need to use different settings than your office standard. In the Settings dialog, this is the purpose of the Project tab.

If values are set here they modify or override the equivalent settings on the General tab.

Settings stored by Project Number

It is important to note that settings made on the Project tab are only applicable to the Project Number of the Revit file you currently have open. If you open another project with a different Project Number in Revit then these settings will be blank again.

This is as intended, as these settings should only really need to be used under special circumstances.

Project Default Output Location

Enter your Output Location here to either override the global output location or append to it. This is useful if you have a project using a different folder structure to your current standard, or other special circumstance when files need to be ordered differently...

Project Default Profile

For each project you can set the default format profile to use. This way as a Revit Manager, you can ensure your team is using the correct PDF, DWG, DWF etc settings for this particular project. Again this setting is stored by Project Number.

Custom Revision Parameter

For this project, define whether to use the option defined in the general settings, you can override and set a different revision parameter to use, or you can choose to use the standard revision parameter.

Project Transmittal Type

Specify what type of Transmittal Type to use. If set to Default, it will use the same settings as per the General tab. If you specify a specific Transmittal Type it will enable selection of the Transmittal Template.
