Architectural is normally used when you are more designing the building, construction when you are more interested in making sure that the building will stay together (structural columns, framing, rebar etc).

That said, you should see it more are as a convenient starting point. These templates have default settings and default families loaded which are more suitable for one type of work. However it is possible to change/add settings and to load additional families to make the files suitable for other work. If needed you could even combine architectural, structural and MEP in a single project/template.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

Can you please let me know how to do it? I originally start a new project with Commercial-Default in construction template, but change it to Construction-Default in construction template.

You use ACHITECTURAL TEMPLATE only when it is about designing a building or a building element like wall or floor. In that fact, you can use all architectural library element free mind.

But in construction, you mind is about the type of footing, column, floor... without thinking of using library element. You wanna go straight on the site and start construction.

I always use the Architectural template, regardless of my purpose.

 

The reasons are:

 

1. I'm accustomed to it. I know what's in it.

2. I've modified it. I've got all my desired line weights, text styles, reference heads, etc., etc., etc. in it. I've got certain view templates I like it in. I've got certain view filters I use regularly in it. I've got the sheet families, the reference head families, the wall types, etc., that I want in it. I've got my own system types set up in it. This list could go on a long time.

3. It doesn't otherwise make much difference. Those templates are just a collection of desired starting points created by someone else. Spend a few projects getting things set up the way YOU want them set up, and then save your OWN template.

4. You don't have to use a particular template for a particular purpose. Anything you can do in one template I can do in another template. In fact I can do everything from a completely blank new project file. The only difference is I've have to take the time to change the settings, load the families, etc. A template is basically just a time saver. It does NOT constrain your work.

Same problem here... For my side I just set ''current view only" and it appeared...

I believe it would be better to have another template loaded with both structural and construction families...so that you can design and detail as you go.
