REVIT_Usage of Collabrate tool_Week 6

1) AIM : To set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project(Architectural template) using manage tab

COMMANDS USED :

• Architecture
• Grids
• Manage

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit
• Select a new Architectural template

• Save the project as Architectural model
• Go to Architecture tab and select grids command
• Draw longitudinal and transverse grids and rename them

• Go to manage tab and select specify coordinates at point

• Now select each grid and specify 0'0"

RESULT : As per above procedure, Project base point and project shared coordinates are set up for the architectural template project

2) AIM : To create a structural template and to select the parameters same as architectural template using manage tab

TOOLS USED :

• Structural
• Grids
• Manage

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit
• Select a new Structural template

• Save the project as structural model
• Go to the Structural tab and select grids command
• Draw longitudinal and transverse grids and rename them

• Go to manage tab and select specify coordinates at a point

• Specify each grid as 0'0"

RESULT : As per above procedure, Project base point and project shared coordinates are setup for structural template project

3) AIM : To collaborate the model as a central model

TOOLS USED :

• Collaborate

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit
• Open architectural model from open command

• Go to collaborate tab and select collaborate command

• A pop up appears to choose an option to collaborate
• Choose the option within the network and click ok

• Now close the file, a pop up appears asking save as central model since it is the first time to save after work sharing is enabled
• Click yes

RESULT : By following procedure, collaborating model is done

4) AIM : To draw grids as longitudinal and transverse pattern

TOOLS USED :

• Architecture
• Grids

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit
• Open architectural model from open command
• Go to architecture tab and select grids command
• Draw the grids with an offset of 30'

• Draw longitudinal and transverse grids and rename them accordingly

RESULT : By the above procedure, Lognitudinal and transverse pattern is obtained

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

TOOLS USED :

• Collaborate
• Synchronize with central

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit
• Open architectural model from open command
• Go to collaborate tab and select synchronize command

• Click Synchronize now

RESULT : The drawing will sync with central file

6) AIM : To Collaborate structural model as central file

TOOLS USED :

• Collaborate

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit
• Open structural model from open command
• Go to collaborate tab and select collaborate command

• A pop up appears asking to choose an option

• Select the option within the network
• Close the file and click yes to the pop up saying the file is saving for first time since worksharing was enabled

RESULT : By following above procedure, project file saves as central file

7) AIM : To select grids and levels from architectural model and to copy them to structural model using copy monitor

TOOLS USED :

• Collaborate
• Copy monitor
• Select link
• Copy

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit
• Open architectural model file from open command
• Go to manage tab and link the structural model
• Go to collaborate tab and select copy monitor tab and click on select link

• Select grids and copy them, then click on finish command

RESULT : Grids and levels are found in structural model file by the above procedure

8) AIM : To create a new file with construction template, to save it as central model and to link both structural and architectural models and to close all files

TOOLS USED :

• New
• Manage
• Manage links command
• Close

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit
• Create a new project file choosing construction template

• Save it as central model

• Go to manage tab, select manage links command
• Add both architectural and structural models and click ok

• Save the file and close the file

RESULT : A new model is created, saved as central model and both architectural and structural models are linked to it

9) AIM: To check if the elements in structural and architectural model are matching in construction template created, if not, to work on shared parameters and linking options under manage links

TOOLS USED :

• Manage
• coordinates
• Acquire coordinates
• Project location
• Relocate project

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit
• Open construction model file from open command
• Go to manage tab, click on coordinates drop down, select the model and select project location command
• Since they are not matching, click on relocate and click on intersection point of grids

• Elements of both models appear in construction model itself

RESULT : Grids are matching in combined model
