• Select the grid point 1 and specify distance with an equal intervals of 20'
• Press Escape
• Similarly select the grid point a and specify distance with an equal interval of 15'

RESULT:- Longitudinal and transverse grid pattern of architectural model has been explained with the use of Revit 2022

 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 with the use of REVIT 2022

INTRODUCTION:- Synchronization of changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model is being explained with step by step procedure

PROCEDURE:-

• Open Revit 2022 software
• Click on previously opened file
• Go to collaborate tab>Synchronize panel
• Select the synchronize with central
• Check compact central model and click OK

RESULT:- Synchronization of changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model has been explained

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

AIM:- To open the structural model and to use the collaborate tools to save the model as a central file

INTRODUCTION:-Structural tool by using the collaborate tool is being explained with step by step procedure.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open REVIT 2022 software
• Click on open under the model options
• Select and open the previously saved file Building Structural
• Go to Collaborate tab>Collaborate
• Select collaborate option, " Within your network"

• Click Ok and save the file as central model

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

Solution:- Yes the grids from structural and architectural model has been matched with the construction template

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

Solution:- Construction model generally deals with the model in 3D dimension which can be adopted for creating and managing digital information about a building such as site surveys,condition surveys,information about existing utilities, tracking progress and costs,scheduling etc

Construction model consist of both Architectural and Structural Models

a) Architectural Model:- It consists of modelling walls, doors, windows, ceiling and roof, stairs etc. It does not able to model structural elements such as beam, column etc. 

b) Structural Model:- It consists of modelling of Structural Elements such as beam , column, slabs and footings. It can able to carry load analysis of the structure
