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.
Ans) AIM: To set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project.
COMMANDS USED:
Collaborate
Architectural
grids
Manage
specify coordinates at a point
PROCEDURE:
- First save the project as residential building architectural.
- Draw grids using architecture tab.
-
- Draw vertical and horizontal grid then name them accordingly.
- Open manage tab and open specify co-ordinates then select vertical grid and change coordinates to 0’0’’.
- Do the same to the horizontal grid.
RESULT:
Hence the base point are changed and the project file is ready to collaborate.
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.
Ans) AIM: To create a structural template and using manage tab select the parameters and repeat the same as architectural template.
COMMANDS USED:
Collaborate
Structural
grids
Manage
specify coordinates at a point
PROCEDURE:
- First save the project as residential building architectural.
- Draw grids using architecture tab.
- Draw vertical and horizontal grid then name them accordingly.
- Open manage tab and open specify co-ordinates then select vertical grid and change coordinates to 0’0’’.
- Do the same to the horizontal grid.
RESULT:
Hence the base point are changed and the project file is ready to collaborate.
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).
Ans) AIM: To collaborate the architectural and structural drawings.
COMMANDS USED:
Collaborate
PROCEDURE:
- Open the previously saved architectural file.
- Then open the collaborate tab and press the collaborate option.
- Then go with the with network option.
Result: Hence projects are collaborated.
4)Create the Grids Longitudinal and Transverse pattern for the project similar to the task done in Week 2.
Ans)
Aim: To Create the Grids Longitudinal and Transverse pattern for the project.
COMMANDS USED:
Grids
Procedure:
- Open a new file with architectural template.
- Now click on architectural tab and select grids option.
- Now draw the grids with equivalent distances.
- Draw the grids horizontally and vertically.
- Rename the grids as per the NBC standards.
Result: Grids have been created.
5) Synchronize the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model.
Ans) AIM: To Synchronize the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model.
COMMANDS USED:
Collaborate
synchronize tab
Procedure:
- open the revit file.
- Now select the collaborate tab and select synchronize tab and click ok.
- The drawing will be synchronized with the central file.
Result: the synchronization of local copy to central copy is done.
6)Open the structural model and using the collaborate tools to save the model as a central file.
Ans) AIM: To Open the structural model and using the collaborate tools to save the model as a central file.
COMMANDS USED:
Collaborate
PROCEDURE:
- Open the previously saved architectural file.
- Then open the collaborate tab and press the collaborate option.
- Then go with the with network option.
Result: Hence projects are collaborated.
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.
Ans) AIM: 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.
COMMANDS USED:
Collaborate
copy monitor
PROCEDURE:
- Open the architectural tab and select the collaborate tab .
- Now select the copy monitor option and under that select the select link option so that the structural drawing is been linked.
- Select the grids and levels and select the multiple and select copy option.
- Now select the finish command.
- Now open the structural templete file, we could see the grids and columns in it.
RESULT:
Hence the grids are copied to the 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.
Ans) AIM: To create construction template and save it as central model and link both architectural and structural files.
COMMANDS USED:
Manage
manage links
PROCEDURE:
- Open a new file and save it as construction template.
- Now select the collaborate tab and click on collaborate the file as central file.
- Select the manage tab and select manage link.
- Now find the architectural and structural drawings and add them to this by clicking ok.
- Now both the fiels will be seen in the present file.
RESULT:
The linking of both architectural and structural files is done.
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.
Ans) AIM: Insert the grid from structural template to architectural template and check whether it is considering with each other.
COMMANDS USED:
Manage
manage links
project coordinates
Acquired coordinates
Position
relocate position.
Procedure:
- Open the manage tab
- Then select manage links and the select the structure template drawing.
- Both the drawings will appear in the architectural template and they don’t coincide.
- Select any one grid and then select acquire coordinates.
- Then relocate the any grids with relocate command.
- Then both the grids will be coincided.
Result: The grids have been positioned.
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.
