structural plan vs. structural template

[Anonymous]

what's the difference between structural plan and structural template?

is it just about settings and loaded families or there are differences that make you use the structural template?

[dferreira-blackwell]

its a wrong comparison, the template is broad term then plan. structure plan comes inside of templet, plan follows the rules( line style, object style, visibility, annotation, everything) set by templet unless you override it.

Dear @Anonymous ,

Structural Template is default or standard-setting for your Structural Modeling and Documentation it comes with default settings of view style, dimensions style, loaded with standard structural families, etc.  in Revit the file format of template file is .rte and project is .rvt.

Structural Plan is referring to a view on how it will look at the structural elements on the top view. like Ground floor structural plan, Foundation plan, pile & column layout, etc.

I hope this may help you.
