Standards & Template Analysis & Recommendations

Build a Stronger Foundation with CAD & BIM Standards

The Standards & Template Analysis & Recommendations (STAR) service is designed to help organizations assess and improve their Autodesk AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit environments. This process includes a thorough review of existing templates, libraries, and standards, identifying gaps and inefficiencies that could impact project consistency and workflow. The goal is to provide clear recommendations to align templates and standards, ensuring that teams work more efficiently and consistently across projects.

Standards & Template Analysis & Recommendations

What's Included

Each STAR engagement includes the following key phases:

  • Kickoff Meeting

  • Data Gathering & Analysis

  • User Feedback Sessions

  • Recommendations Report

  • Presentation & Review

Platform-Specific Focus Areas

  • AutoCAD: Review includes drawing templates (DWT), plot styles, linetypes, block libraries, tool palettes, and more.
  • Civil 3D: In addition to AutoCAD standards, we also assess Civil 3D-specific elements such as part catalogs, assemblies, and label styles.
  • Revit: Focus areas include project templates, family libraries, view templates, filters, line styles, object styles, and naming conventions
