client name, and so on. See

materials, project units, snapping increments for model views, and so on. Most project settings are
available from the Settings menu and are described in

(for example, walls) as necessary for a project. You can also load families, for example, commonly used
families, custom families, and titleblocks. See
Project views. Predefine plan views, levels, schedules, legends, sheets, and so on. See
