Hello
As the name suggests, when I receive a design model (which has +1000000000 parameters and useless information) what is the correct workflow to initiate the project??
is it to open the file and clean it as much possible (by using tools, addons, scripts ... etc.) or is it by blinding the model/file into a project template?
really appreciate your input

Hard to advise you without knowing a whole lot more. You say there are a billion parameters and useless information, but here's no way for us to know what's useless, or what you want to save and use from the project. That's a determination you and your team are going to have to make.

most of the projects we work on we take the design models and manipulate them to extract shop drawings.
So when we receive, them they contain parameters that were used at the design stage, those have become obsolete.
In most when we start working, we pop up di roots and remove all of the project parameters.
Another thing we do, is we remove all of the views and sheets and start from scratch.
I've checked a youtube video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6OInf6xlo0&list=PLDDdkaqywYFnPhqw2M3CO6Oodc7l4MUGW&index=2&ab_chann...
and I started thinking, is this the correct way of doing things?? since we always worked on what ever file received from the client.

If you determine they are useless then yes wiping them off is the right approach.

Probably helps to know what your role and objective is. You say you receive a design, so are you a contractor, or a designer who completes someone else's design? How much communication and coordination is with whoever is designing upstream of you? What is it that you need to produce?
"Useless information" maybe from your point. Whoever put in that information and parameters probably considered it useful for some reason.

thank you for your reply
You are correct, I am a contractor and my job is to clean the model from all useless information (design parameters included), do coordination with other disciplines (contractor team) and extract shop drawings

You remove ALL project parameters? I can't help but think that there is no way those are all "useless".
