Keynote Workflow

The default keynoting data provided in Revit Architecture is based on the 1995 Construction Specification
Institute (CSI) Master format system, which uses 16 divisions to organize construction process and materials.
This is a widely used system in the United States. See
A more recent version of this system has not yet seen wide-spread adoption. This newer version is based
upon 50 divisions and was introduced in 2004. Support for this new format can be accomplished by adding
the additional divisions to the default keynote data files as needed. See
