Practical Practices for Revit Structure Modeling

1. Minimize the use of Revit in-place families. Use preloaded families in the templates or your company project templates.
2. Minimize reference planes or delete it after use. For consideration, careful deletion because some reference planes are used as work plane otherwise name or tag the reference plane.
   
3. Maintain fewer and only essential links. Especially inserting CAD as an import symbol. 
4. Link only in current view. This is to avoid CAD links to show up in all views.
   
5. Work at Coarse detail level unless you are working with metallic structures.
6. When modelling, use families rather than groups. (Using groups to efficiently update repetitive elements)
7. Delete unused groups. And it can be done in Paragraph 9 using Purge command or directly from Project Browser.
8. When using copy/monitor. Make it sure that the element is ticked on structural otherwise it is hidden in all view. Further reading see here: https://pinoycadcoin.blogspot.com/2019/08/6-tips-and-tricks-why-revit-elements.html
   
   
   
   
   
9. Purge model files on a regular basis. Let's say weekly basis. Purge command is a way to reduce the model file size and increase user efficiency.
10. Eliminate unnecessary views from model files. Project browser it is like a project folder floating in your Revit. Be organize.
11. Use Propagate Extents for grids and levels (other option is copy to clipboard and paste/aligned to selected levels)
12. When linking Revit models use as underlay be sure to pin it and click the Select Links for disabling and accidental selecting the elements.
