2. Doka project templates

The library for each formwork system is loaded in a prepared project template for Revit. The components
are placed on a floor to give the user a quick overview about the provided 3D content.

Furthermore, a placing example for the specific formwork system is shown in this template. This should
give an idea about the usage of the families.

Formwork components and a placing example of the Framax Xlife families

Beside the formwork components, this template also includes annotation families like tags and dimensions.
Also the line styles have been customized for optimized project documentation.

The project templates with the loaded families contain:

- Formwork objects and annotation symbols
- Custom View definitions and a legend for dimension-/ line styles and annotation tags
- Predefined project documentation based on 2D-drawings & schedules for quantification
- Example for execution drawing

The Families are organized in the project browser and based on the category “generic models”. To simplify
the placing of the components, different subcategories where chosen:

- Generic model
- Generic model face based
- Generic model line based

The families are organized in the project browser and categorized in single type-, multi type- and nested
families with sub components.
Single type families have stated the article number in the family name whereas multi type families have the
article number in the type name.
