09.1 Template file and Setup info

So to start off our project you first have to model the existing house to which the extension will added onto. This post has the template files for you to use with the same objects and wall types which are listed below, the modeling of the existing house is pretty simple stuff but for new user this information is key to them to see how the project starts, for more advanced user if you want to skip this step/video, you can download the 'existing house' revit file and join in the next step/post. For those who do watch this video i added some internal doors after i finished the video, these can be seen in the 'existing house' revit file also you may as well just download all the files posted for a reference. The video is at the bottom of the this post
