"I had the privilege to beta test this template system early on - and I have NEVER looked back. The beauty of the system is the simplicity and practical makeup. IT MAKES SENSE. All elements of the system are well thought out, and I have benefitted greatly. I am now much more organized and even more competitive in my local market due to decreased labor. Also, much more of my time can be spent on the FUN part of design, as opposed to the rigors of C.D. prep. When I compare the lifetime investment into A/C - the hundred bucks spent on STS has had the most horsepower yet. It's Nitrous for A/C!" -KR

"Thanks for doing all the work on your STS - I have been reading
your posts on this subject for years on ArchiCad talk and I am happy to be
using your sts now to standardize our office." - AT

RE: Methods of getting quality line weight results: "I implemented the "STS" get standarized template system. I did a bit more tweaking and I achieved the high quality I expected from myself and my software." -CG

"More I get to know your templates, better I like them! Thanks for your great work!" - AK

"I did finally receive your two emails and started working on the template (quite user friendly)." -AA

"I look forward to utilizing to the fullest your highly recommended STS system in our practice ASAP." -PB

"Love the STS templates. Should have been using them all along. Well done." -TM

"I bought the STS templates and modified them for our office - the cost was worth the time and effor saved." -MS

"..the STS templates which were an essential learning tool.." -IA

"I just purchased the "get standardized" template system. What a great addition! Everything is set up so well. AC is integrated with PM, the layer combinations are well thought out and very useful. " -CG

"I have gone a great ways in specializing them to fit my residential/full-out modeling practice, but I could not have done it without the framework provided by STS. The pen set-up is ingenious and intuitive, the integration of quickviews, hotlinks to plotmaker and the pre-determined tool defaults is a tremendous timesaver. I have learned almost more in the past year with STS than the previous five years combined. Bravo!" -KR

"This template has immeasurably increased the productivity of our office. Eric Batte brings an insightful process and a much needed tool into the layout of ArchiCAD project documentation, from schematic ideas to putting the project in the archives. Utilizing the stories control, Eric has designed an intuitive and intelligent process for organizing details drawn at different scales. The quick views tool has been programmed for quick and easy navigation of my models and assures accurate layouts for the PlotMaker files. This template has been designed by an architect for an architect and I would strongly recommend this program to anyone considering it for their office." -JM

"Everyone knows that the source of consistent drawing production begins with CAD Standards that are implemented office wide. Eric Batte's Standardized Template System is working wonders for CAD productivity in our commercial architectural practice. By addressing typical CAD standards issues (AIA Layer Standards, layer groupings, story settings, and logical pen colors and weights) within ArchiCAD's system of 3D production, the decisions that most CAD users are faced with have already been made. This allows us to concentrate on Architectural design and production and not technical or standards issues. This system greatly streamlines and simplifies the drawing process." -TB
