Usage of Collaborate tool in REVIT
1) Open an architectural template. Using the Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project
AIM :
To Using the Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project
INTRODUCTION :
- A project template provides a starting point for a new project, including view templates, loaded families, defined settings (such as units, fill patterns, line styles, line weights, view scales, and more), and geometry, if desired.
- Revit Levels and Grids are really the skeleton of building projects. Typically Levels in Revit are used to indicate the locations of floors, foundations, and the roof of a building in section and elevation views. More recent versions of Revit include Levels in 3D views. Grids are used to host columns and walls.
PROCEDURE :
- Open the revit software and create the new file with help of new sheet
- And give the template architecture

- Now we want to make the grid with help of grid option
- just click the grid on the right top of the screen
- draw the grid line

- Draw the grid line at two direction one in horizontal and one in vertical directiob
- And the one is give the value of (A) and another one is give the value of (1)
- finally the grid is created in architectural template

INTRODUCTION :
- The basic structure of a template includes a site (with assets, layouts, pages, and content), an associated theme, and any custom components. When you create a site, you must choose a template to provide the site structure and initial content, a theme with design and layout specifications, and any custom components.

To project on 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
INTRODUCTION :
- Linking models is primarily intended for linking separate buildings, such as those that compose a campus. You can link architectural models, structural models, and MEP models. You can link Revit LT models to other Revit LT models. ... Linked models are listed in the Revit Links branch of the Project Browser
- Monitor means that Revit monitors the copied object with the object it has been copied from. If the Architect makes a change to something that is Monitored, then a message will appear when the link is updated.
PROCEDURE :
- Open the architectural template and select manage tab.
- In the manage tab select the manage links and

- select the structural template drawing.
- Both the grids will appear in the arch template and it is not coninciding.

AIM :
To 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
INTRODUCTION :
- Add structural elements to the building model. Use the structural column tools to add vertical load-bearing elements to building models. Use beams tools to add load-bearing structural elements to building models.
PROCEDURE ,RESULT :
how many people can work on the same project using Revit simultaneously
- Enable worksets, this will create a central file then multiple people can work on the same project. For multiple users to use the same Revit file at the same time you need to turn on Worksets.
- Use worksharing to allow multiple users to work on different parts of one Revit project. Worksharing allows simultaneous access to a shared model through use of a central model. Use worksharing when you are working with a single model (one RVT file) that will have multiple team members working on it.
List a flow chart of a project tree set up in terms of Construction model, Architecture & Structure model, in this exercise
For the construction model the project tree is as:
- Site access
- Logistics and storage
- Quality control
- Outstanding contract details
- Outstanding design-related challenges
- Health and safety
For architectural model
- Schematic design
- Design Development
- Construction Documents
- Bidding
- Construction Adminintration.
For structural model
- The primary objective of structure analysis and design is to produce a structure capable of resisting all applied loads without failure during its intended life.If improperly designed,elements ofa structure would fail causing serious consequences such as large expenses.
- Once the architechtural 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.
