Hi All,

I'm in need of some help. I work in a department where we only use our own custom-made walls. Everyone on the team needs to have a copy of the walls that I have custom-defined using Revit. However, I can't find the location on the hard drive where these custom wall types would be located. I looked in the imperial library where all the other types - doors, windows, specialty equipment, plumbing fixtures, etc - would be located but the wall types couldnt be found in there. Does anyone have any help for me as to how I could locate my custom wall types on the hard drive?

 Sincerely.

Walls, roofs, floors, stairs and a few more are "SYSTEM FAMILIES", look in your HELP what is that, you don't have a template file like doors or windows with your walls, what you can do is: open a project with your default Template and Create those walls in there OR Copy and Paste to that project OR open a project where you have ALL those walls and use the "Transfer project standard" and choose only the "Walls", then save that with type ".RTE" that's a template file, in this case, every time you create a new project (using this template) you have ALL your "custom-Made walls".

I Hope and I Wish to LEARN  more, and more, and more.... REVIT

Thank you both very much for your help. I havent had to do that before and I had seen the 'transfer project standards' option but had never used it. I will give it a try.

 Thank you once again.
