Project standards include the following:

• Family types (including system families, but not loaded families)
• Global parameters (transferred global parameters with the same name as global parameters in the target project are added as a number [1] duplicate)
• Line weights, materials, view templates, and object styles
• Mechanical settings, piping, and electrical settings
• Annotation styles, color fill schemes, and fill patterns
• Print settings

You can specify which standards to copy. Any object referenced by an object that will be copied is included in the transfer. For example, if you select a wall type and forget to copy the material, Revit copies it.

To transfer project standards

1. Open both the source and target projects.
2. In the target project, click Manage tabSettings panel (Transfer Project Standards).
3. In the Select Items to Copy dialog, select the source project for Copy from.
4. Select the desired project standards. To select all project standards, click Check All.
5. Click OK.
6. If the Duplicate Types dialog displays, select one of the following options:
   • Overwrite: Transfers all new project standards, and overrides duplicate types.
   • New Only: Transfers all new project standards, and ignores duplicate types.
   • Cancel: Cancels the operation.
