Hello,
Our office template(s) currently have a separate phase that is dedicated to showing families and assemblies that are part of the firm's standards. This seems to be condoned by Autodesk since the OOTB template has a Standards phase that comes after New Construction. But I am wondering how many other firms do it like this, and what people think? For example, we have our wall types set up so that wall types are literally floor plan views of each wall type. I understand the logic - we want to be able to TAG these walls to show useful info parametrically, which you can't with legend components. But I also have been taught that too many views is bad, and most of my career I have seen wall types drawn as drafting views. I also do not like the idea of dedicating a whole level and phase in "model space" to standards - seems old fashioned, like AutoCAD before "paper space". New views tend to default to this standards phase, which confuses employees as well as consultants. Curious to hear people thoughts!
