Lots of home inspectors have expressed an interest in sharing the templates they have worked on as well as discussing ways to create better ones. I've seen home inspectors create templates in 4 different languages, English, Spanish, French and Italian, as well as templates for 10 different countries. Obviously there is a lot of variation out there.

Home Inspector Pro is also being used for lots of different types of inspections and have created templates to reflect that. I've seen templates for single family homes, condo's, mobile homes, boats, commercial buildings, apartment complexes, EIFS inspections, commercial a/c systems, college campuses and more.

What have you done? What are you trying to do, share you info! You can attach your tpz file if you want to share your template, or even a pdf to show what your report looks like.

Yup, makes sense. I can see a lot of swapping of templates going on as well 

Hi John,

First, use the normal reply button option not the quick reply at the bottom of a post.
Click on Additional Options
Click Browse next to the Attach window
Browse to your template which is a .tpz file. If you're on windows it will usually be stored in C:\Program Files\Home Inspector Pro\Data
I'm going to have an export feature added soon that will bundle the documents with the template for easier distribution. Right now you'd need to attach the documents as well (which are in the \Data\Documents folder).

You can also just attach a recent pdf which will show the layout you're working on.

Yup! There are people starting an inspection on a windows tablet and finishing it on their mac too. Everything in the program is cross compatible

Scott, look at the Texas Template. It's basically a system by system. You can work from there. Or talk to Russ or Charley or any of the other guys using a system by system. You could also just create a template to match what you had in HG. Watch the Animated Tutorial on editing a template.

You can copy the narratives. Open the Texas template and go to the fireplace, click on a comment and hit ctrl-a to select all and everything should highlight. Click on copy button (or ctrl-c). Open your template, go to destination section, click on a comment and click the paste button (or ctrl-v). Don't forget to save when you're on your destination template.

HI guys,

When I highlight a narrative inside the Texas template "fireplace" and use Ctrl-A it does NOT highlight the rest BUT here how it works for me...strange...  I un-highlight the narrative then use Ctrl-A is then highlights all the narratives...   Either way having that ability is just fantastic for all the narratives I use!!  Thanks Dominic
