13.Why do you need the Collaborate tab in Revit? How it supports modeling and its efficiency?
It helps to coabrate and help the team members to work on the model simultaneously.
In modelling it helps the team member of different disciplines to work on the same file simultaneously.
The effeciency of the modelling will be high as the work can be finished faster.
