STEP-5:In similar way draw traverse grids with the distance of 30 and name them as A,B,C,

RESULT:Longitudinal and traverse grids are created successfully

5) Synchronize the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model.

AIM:TO SYNCHRONIZE THE CHANGES FROM LOCAL COPY TO THE CENTRAL FILE OF THE ARCHITECTURAL MODEL

TOOLS AND COMMANDS USED:

• SYNCHRONIZE
• COLLABORATE
• TEMPELATE
• MANAGE

PROCEDURE:

Open previously created question model

STEP-1:Click colloborate tab and select colloborate tool

STEP-2:A dialogbox appears either to choose in network or BIM360 and select the required option i.e(WITHIN NETWORK)

STEP-3:Click ok

STEP-4:Now choose colloborate and choose synchronize with central and select synchronize and modify settings

STEP-5:now a tool bar appears then make required changes and click ok

STEP-6:now save the file by choosing file option and click ok

STEP-7:now save the file with appropriate file andclick on save

RESULT:The changes from the local copy to central file of the architectural model are successfully synchronized

6) Open the structural model and using the collaborate tools to save the model as a central file.

AIM:TO SAVE THE STRUCTURAL MODEL AS CENTRAL FILE BY USING THE COLLABORATE TOOL

TOOLS AND COMMANDS USED:

• Open
• Collaborate
• Synchronize

PROCEDURE:

STEP-1:Open the revit software and open the structural model in previously created question

STEP-2:Select collaborate tab and click collaborate

STEP-3:A comment box and select the required optiom i.e,within your network

STEP-4:Click ok

STEP-5:select collaborate and click synchronize with central and choose synchronize and modify settings

STEP-6:A dialog box appears and click ok

STEP-7:Now save the file in appropraite location and with proper name

CLICK ON SAVE

RESULT:STRUCTURAL MODEL IS SAVED AS CENTRAL FILE BY USING COLLABORATE TAB

7) Under the Collaborate tab, select the grids and levels from the architectural model, and using Copy Monitor try to copy the grids to the structural model. See what happens when the copy monitored grid is moved around in the structural model
