 Revit does not allow to define a &​quot;​template drawing&​quot;​ for the export. But this is a standard procedure for AutoCAD user. In order to make sure that a drawing does comply with an existing standard, a drawing is usually &​quot;​inserted&​quot;​ into an empty drawing created from a template. This makes sure that the definition of blocks and layers is as defined by the template, rather than using the definitions found in the &​quot;​external&​quot;​ drawing. Revit does not allow to define a &​quot;​template drawing&​quot;​ for the export.

 Revit only allows the assignment of layers on a per category basis. But if, for example, a piece of bathroom furniture has been modelled as &​quot;​General Model&​quot;​ it is not possible to &​quot;​override&​quot;​ the layer assignment so that this element is exported to another layer. This additional functionality is provided by this tool. Such &​quot;​overrides&​quot;​ can be created for any family / type. Revit only allows the assignment of layers on a per category basis.
