No "Imperial-Architectural Template" option for New project even though the default path for family template files is English-Imperial

[Michael_K_]

My Revit 2021 tutorial is showing me that I need to choose the "Imperial-Architectural Template" from the outset when choosing a New Project. I have downloaded the US English Content for Revit 2022, and none of my options begin with "Imperial..." even though I have set the default path as C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2022\Family Templates\English-Imperial

Can someone show why this isn't enough?? 

Has this detail changed for Revit 2022?

Project templates and Family templates are different and they are stored in different folders.  What you need is this:

Project templates are in a folder called Templates not Family templates

I still cannot see the right template, screenshot attached

It is the default.rte or can also use the commercial.rte

The tutorial you are following must be for an older version where they were named differently

Default.rte is the US Imperial project template.

Still does not spell out for me that it is imperial in the list.

It doesn't matter.  You can name it whatever you want.

Can anyone confirm that Revit 2022.1 does not explicitly say Imperial before the template titles...

[RDAOU · Accepted solution]

@Michael_K_ 

Confirmed ... See GIF below

• The template Default.rte is the imperial template 
• The name in the drop down menu for New Projects does NOT need to read Imperial (user can edit the name)
• If you want the name to be listed and EXPLICITLY state Imperial-, you have to rename it under Options >> File Locations >> Name (this would only be useful if you use for example: both metric and imperial)

Assuming your English Imperial Template folder contents look like my screenshot, then I understand the your gif

@Michael_K_ 

YES believe me they are the same : o) we have no interest in misleading you

The one in my folder was still metric.

Some more information and a question would be helpful.

I only have two options when I make a new project (Imperial Multi-Discipline and Metric Multi-Discipline). I need to use Imperial Architecture for a class. Any ideas about how to get this option?

There are only two OOTB templates now, Imperial and Metric. If your teacher/professor is requiring an architectural template, politely tell them they are out of date.
