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

                   

RESULT : 

 

           

 

2) Open another new file but with a structural template. Using the 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 Open another new file but with a structural template. Using the 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

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.

• 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 structural
• As the same like as we want to 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)
  • The grid is created in structural template

   

                          

 

• And here we can use the specify coordinate at the point option
• It's is placed in the manage option at the toolbar

 

                                 

• Just pick the specify coordinate at point
• pick the grid and then give the value of (0) and enter

 

RESULT : 

 

                

 

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 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)

INTRODUCTION : 

• Revit provides several different ways to collaborate with team members who are also using the software. You can link multiple Revit models together, allowing team members to work in context. Through worksharing, users on the same local area network (LAN) can work together in the same Revit model.
• Open the appropriate version of Revit. Click File > Open > and navigate to the central model on the server. Click once to select the central model. Verify that the Create New Local box is checked.

AIM : 

          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.

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

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.
