Does anyone else use a canned .rvt as a way to filter incoming models from Architects when you setup a new .rvt MEP project and all the views, etc. for your company? Another way to put this; instead of trying to force the architecture model to provide company standard views with all the right settings when starting up a project, you filter the incoming model through another model before it gets used as the background in a full blown MEP project. That filter .rvt already has all the views set up (or at least the ability to easily setup standard scaled views). This prevents having to go back and reapply all the view settings to an Architects model if they resend it a bunch of times and you don't want to have to go back and totally reapply all the views, and settings each time - just run it through the canned filter .rvt..
I'm trying to get a feel for workflows; project volume is big here, setting up and maintaining standard views is a big deal.
