Hello. In this lecture, we are discussing about creating and configuring a new project. In this movie, we create a new project in configuration. Some of its basic settings and this project is become basics for one of the buildings thoughts out the courses. Now, I'm going to use the default Matic template that ships with the Indian version of Revit. You might have a different template as well depending upon what country you are in.

If you are in India, you have to use that Indian version so that it will be more helpful for the clients or the customer sites to give the documents. So if you don't have any access to the default Max's template, I'm going to use the templates right now. You can download it from the outer decks, templates, and then you can use it in a preview This lecture, I discussed about how can you go to the templates and how can you use the templates. Let's continue with that. You can see here, this is the Revit application menu. If you click this, you can see there is one option here.

At the below this click it. When you click it, you can see some options like general user interface graphics hardware file location center. So if you want to choose that default metric templates if I wanted to work on default metrics templates most of the times, so I want that the default metrics shows in front of me. So what we can do, we can go for the file locations, and the template display list, we can add that our default metric Then template display template. So that will be really helpful for me. So I can use that or, or you can want any other template suppose can go to this option add value, this click after clicking in there lots of option suppose after work on construction default method.

So most of the time, you can just click one click and go to the open mode and then just click OK. When you do that, when you go to the Revit application menu, click this file option and go new. Then you go for the then you go for template file, choose lists, then you find that that construction default metrics are shown in your template. So this is very important that whatever you will use, it's important that you can put that in this Your your display list. So, I can easily just now go to the construction menu and click OK. And here my construction before metrics open okay. So, we can I can use this very easily.

And now, this is the, this is the one thing that I told you about this template, how can we change or add or suppress our favorite template, the display list now will start we are going to the Manage project. So, this is the project when we start some projects. So, the first thing is choose the template and then go to the manage projects. And here you can click project information fine See that here now, our project name is project four, okay. You can change it later by go to the Save As I will talk to you later that for that now you can see the project information there is a one dialog box open here it's written the type if you want to use the type you can use that type just to stretch a little bit. So it will be more visible for us right fine.

And you see here you can choose this organization name, if you have some organization then you can choose this. If you have some organization description you can choose this building name you want to induce and this is author that is one you can choose it fine. Now, later for others there are some more thing that is issued it okay if you have any issue date, so you can use that issue that was Status honors and read this a project name and I'll just fill this issue date here that might be right. Suppose project status, you can write whatever you want that is his audition. Claim name, you can you can add the correct address here write anything, whatever you want. And project name you can write here project name also.

Okay. And project number you can write your what your project number Okay, so if it's one you can put it one time. So these are the details whatever you have, you can fill it and then is saved say okay. One thing that is very important that When you when you write the project name that the board name should be same. So, it will be more more easy to you to identify it later Okay. So, so, you can see you can say this is the project information that you already have and then you come to the Properties panel in this Properties panel go to the sheet you can create this right click then there is a new option that is new sheet you can go for the new sheet right when you go for the matrix should new sheets.

So, you can see here at the right corner, this is the sign here, constraint ID or you can add this if you want and here you see that the all the information that you put here is shown here. Fine okay. So, this is one of the very important features in Revit you can add in this sheet. So it was it is very easy for you to operate fine okay. So, this is one thing therefore, the reference to find the project some overall context but several of those fine will shows up in little block when you right foot project you can see that there is one more option now, we'll talking about the menu go to the manager, there is one more option after using this. I will discuss one more thing here is go to the level one.

Okay, now you can see if you put the cursor here, here it's one more option that is project units. You can click him the site of this project Eunice is you and you can press the key button you can also or you can use this command here after using this you can see there are several units. Now, here slip written that this is the unit there are several units that I use in this project right now. And these are the formats for the land, this is mm for area this is meter square volume, meter cube, angle, degree slope, so you can change it according to you suppose I want to use in meter, so what we'll do is go to the land, click here, you can change here for meter. You can see the decimals here, rounding decimals that you want, you can choose it or in it if there is some symbol you want none.

If you don't want any symbol you can choose none or you want any So you can choose it or press OK. Now, whenever I use the project, or whenever I choose the wall or anything, the length are measured in meter. And it is it's written and last. Okay, so suppose this is the meter squared area volume, it's all about this. Suppose you want to change the slope, you can click here, you can do this ratio, whatever you want. You can choose the decimal degrees percentage. And you can see all this option and you can manage according to yours.

I want to use my projects in mmm only to that mm to this m also unit symbol and press OK. Let's go here. Okay. So this is one more thing that I want to discuss and hear one more option is there that is The location, you see that this option location and you see this global shaped like structure with a red dot, you can use that location file this click it. Okay, so this is internet mapping service where the project is actually located. So this location panel locate the button when you just stretch a little bit you're gonna find here then go for default city list you can find in the city, latitude and longitude and timezone. Here you can see one location map.

Here this is default location here in a box. The team builds the rabbit rabbit product for our Autodesk is actually located in this box area. And so, this is the default in the template this in this that is very important sometimes when you see this default location go for the default city list also, then you find there are certain cities with Autodesk Revit that are easily used. So, you can see there are lots of option mainly this option are used for the Canada USA or foreign countries where if you get any projects from this you can see there is one option that is Calcutta, India, okay. So you can click it here, you find the longitude and latitude of this region. So that is sometimes very important when you are using some of these applications.

So you can use The language and let it use this is the approx value this is not that much precious, but you can use in your projects. So, this is one of the option. Then second, you can see the weather option, you can see the weather reports in this option and site. So where you have to, sometimes you have to develop some green building now. So you have to take some measures so you can choose that, see that information and you can choose how you can create most valuable and most effective projects according to you. So, this is this is one of the most important thing now, at the end, I want to show you how we can save the project this go here and click File, the Revit application menu and just save the project.

When you please save the project, you get that project for okay. We can save that if you want by this name if you want to change this, suppose if you want to change the name like office you can write office Fine. Then there is one option when you use this option is one box here it is written option here, this click this box and there maximum it should return maximum backups, here it is written maximum backups 20 this backups is very important sometimes when you use the project and you need the backups whenever or accidentally the file would diminish and sometimes the electricity on whatever the problem that is the the backups are formed in your PC. Or you can use one more option that is saved a reminder that is highly recommended for all of you. You can see that whenever I I create some weird lectures for you guys.

So sometimes this However, the same reminders are shown in my screen. So, that reminders are very important when somehow the file or not the file are corrupt or something will happen. So, the Save reminder she saves your file. So, mostly I use that three times for the maximum backups I use three times okay. So you can choose this okay and you can say this project right. Now, what happen if you save this project one more time is go here and save then it will save and then when you go for the file location, then you find that this project have back one backups also for this office plan.

So that is very easy way to work with and that that is the right way to work work in a professional way. So you can easily recover your files and you can use it Anytime, so thanks for watching
