REVIT_Usage of Collabrate tool_Week 6

1) Open an architectural template. Using the Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project.

AIM:

• To set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project .

PROCEDURE :

STEP 1 (To create project shared coordinates )

1. open architectural template
2. open manage tab
3. click on project coordinates >specific shared coordinates .
4. In north /south type 0 '0" .
5. In east/west type 0'0".

STEP 2 ( To create project base points )

1. go to archtectural tab > datum tab > grids > draw the base grids .

RESULT:

The project base point and shared coordinates are created .

2) Open another new file but with a structural template. Using manage tab set project parameters the same as the architectural model. Copy the parameters from the architectural model to the structural template or enter the parameters manually into the structural model.

AIM:

To create structural template with the same parameters as architectural project template .

PROCEDURE :

1. open new file
2. click on structural template

> ok .

1. Go to manage tab > project coordinates> shared coordinates .

>

1. In north/south type 0'0"
2. In east/west type 0'0"

RESULT :

The project parameters are created in structural plan.

3) Re-open the architectural model. Using the tools under the Collaborate tab make the architectural model a central model ( enabling simultaneous working on the model )

AIM :

To create architectural tab as central model .

PROCEDURE :

go to collaborate tab > collaborate

RESULT :

collaborate of the architectural model is done .

4) Create the Grids Longitudinal and Transverse pattern for the project similar to the task done in Week 2

AIM:

To create grids longitudinal and transverse pattern .

PROCEDURE :

go to architecture tab > datum tab > grids

RESULTS :

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

AIM:

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

PROCEDURE :

Go to collaborate tool> synchronize with central > synchronize and modify setting .

RESULT :

The synchronize is done

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

AIM:

To open structural model and using the collaborate tools to save the model as a central file .

PROCEDURE:

• Open structural model
• go to collaborate tool > collaborate > save file > synchronize with central.

> synchronize with central and modify .

RESULT :

The model is synchronized .

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.

AIM:

To use copy monitor tool in my project

PROCEDURE :

1. Go to architectural model> collaborate tab
2. select the grids abd levels.
3. go to collaborate tab >copy monitor in structural model > add the link ( of the previsious model )

• 

RESULT :

In structural model .

8) Create another new file with a construction template. Save the new file as a central model. This file will include both architectural and structural model. Under the manage tab, Click manage links to link both architectural and structural files. Save the file and close all the files.

AIM :

To Create a new file with a construction template which includes both architectural and structural model .

PROCEDURE :

1. close all the previous file
2. open a new file with construction as new template

1. go to collaborate tab > collaborate > click on to synchronize it as the central model .
2. go to manage tab > click on manage links and add
3. click okay .

RESULT:

9) Are the grids from structural and architectural model matching in the construction template created? If yes the model is set up for project 2. If not work on the shared parameters and linking options under Manage links
( Hint: origin to origin, by shared coordinates or by project base point to base point ) to link the models in an appropriate manner

answer:

Yes my structural and architectural model are matching in the construction template created . Therefore my week 6 challenge is set up for project 2 .

10) List a flow chart of a project tree set up in terms of Construction model, Architecture & Structure model, in this exercise and understand how many people can work on the same project using Revit simultaneously.

answer:

for construction model

• site access
• logistics and storage
• quality control
• outstanding contract details
• outstanding design-related challenges
• health and safety

for achitectural model

• Schematic Design,
• Design Development,
• Construction Documents,
• Bidding,
• Construction Administration.

for structural model

The primary objective of structural analysis and design is to produce a structure capable of resisting all applied loads without failure during its intended life. If improperly designed, elements of a structure would fail causing serious consequences such as large expenses or ultimately losses in lives which cannot be compared with any cost.

Once the architectural engineer sets the function and layout of the structure, the role of the structural engineer begins which can be summarized in the following steps to develop a safe, functional and economic structures.
