REVIT_Usage of Collabrate tool_Week 6

1. AIM: To open an architectural template and to set project base point and project shared coordinates for project using manage tab.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• Architectural tab
• Grids
• Manage tab
• Specify coordinate at a point

PROCEDURE:

1. Open a new project with architectural template.
2. In the architectural tab select the grids.
3. Draw an horizontal grid and an vertical grid.
4. Name horizontal grid as A and vertical grid as 1.
5. Now go to manage tab and select specify coordinate at a point.
6. Select vertical grid and specify it as 0’.
7. Now do the same with horizontal grid.
8. Save the project as architectural.

RESULT:

Base point and shared coordinates are being set to the architectural project file using manage tab .

2. AIM: To open an structural template and to set project base point and project shared coordinates for project using manage tab.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• structural tab
• Grids
• Manage tab
• Specify coordinate at a point

PROCEDURE:

1. Open a new project with structural template.
2. In the architectural tab select the grids.
3. Draw an horizontal grid and an vertical grid.
4. Name horizontal grid as A and vertical grid as 1.
5. Now go to manage tab and select specify coordinate at a point.
6. Select vertical grid and specify it as 0’.
7. Now do the same with horizontal grid.
8. Save the project as structural.

RESULT:

Base point and shared coordinates are being set to the structural project file using manage tab .

3. AIM: To make the architectural model as a central model using collaborate tab.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

Collaborate tab

PROCEDURE:

1. Open architectural project file.
2. Click on collaborate tab
3. Click collaborate and then click ok.
4. Now save the file as a central model.

RESULT:

The architectural model is changed in to central model using collaborate tab.

4. AIM: To create the longitudinal and transverse grids in project file.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• Architectural
• Grids

PROCEDURE:

1. Open the architectural project file.
2. Select grids in the architectural tab.
3. Now draw longitudinal grids from left with a distance of 40’.
4. Name them with numbers 2,3,4.
5. And then draw transverse grids from top to bottom with a distance of 40’.
6. Name the grids as B,C,D.
7. Save the project.

RESULT:

The longitudinal and transversal grids are drawn in architectural project file.

5. AIM: To synchronize the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• Collaborate tab
• Synchronize with central

PROCEDURE:

1. To open architectural project file.
2. Now click open collaborate tab.
3. Select synchronize with central.
4. Now select synchronize and modify and click ok.
5. The file will be saved central.

RESULT:

The architectural model is changed from local copy to central file using synchronize with central.

6. AIM: To make the structural model as a central model using collaborate tab.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

Collaborate tab

PROCEDURE:

1. Open structural project file.
2. Click on collaborate tab.
3. Click collaborate and then click ok.
4. Now save the file as a central model.

RESULT:

The structural model is changed in to central model using collaborate tab.

7. AIM: To copy the grids to structural model from architectural model using copy monitor.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• Collaborate tab
• Copy monitor
• Select link

PROCEDURE:

1. Open the architectural project file.
2. Now click on collaborate tab and select copy monitor.
3. Click on select link to link the structural model.
4. Now copy all grids and select finish.
5. Now all the grids are copied in to structural model.

RESULT:

The grids from architectural model are copied in to structural model using copy monitor.

8. AIM: To create a file with construction template and to link both architectural and structural model using manage links.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• Manage tab
• Manage links

PROCEDURE:

1. Open a new file with construction template.
2. Save it as central file using collaborate tab.
3. Now click on manage tab and select manage links.
4. Add both architectural model and structural model.
5. Save the project as combined model.

RESULT:

The project file is created and both architectural and structural models are linked using manage links.

9. AIM: To link the models in an appropriate manner if the grids are not coinsiding in the construction template.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• Manage tab
• Acquire coordinates
• Relocate position

PROCEDURE:

1. Open the construction template file.
2. Check whether the grids are matching in both links.
3. If not click on manage tab and select acquire coordinates.
4. Now select relocate position.
5. Join both the points in order to coinside both the grids.
6. Now both links are matching.

RESULT:

The grids are not coinsiding in the constructional template so both are matched using acquire coordinates and relocate position.
