Q13)why do you need collaborate tab in revit ?how it supports modelling and its efficiency.
ans)collaborate in revit is cloud based service which allows any revit user inside or outside
the network to collaborate on the revit model. many users can work under the same plan
or drawing which makes the work more efficient and the productivity is more as many people
can work under one project and time is reduced in completing the project.
