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 - By Using the Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project also by using architectural template.

PROCEDURE-

• Open the Revit File the open "architectural template".

• Using Architectural Tab draw grids & name accordingly.

• Goto Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project

• Change corrdinates and save the project.

RESULT-

Successfully we have set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project in manage tab using architetural Templates.

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 - By Using the Manage tab set project parameters the same as the architectural model (base point and project shared coordinates for the project) also by using structural template.

PROCEDURE-

• Open the Revit File the open "structural template".

• Using Architectural Tab draw grids & name accordingly.

• Goto Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project

• Change corrdinates and save the project.

RESULT-

Successfully we have set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project in manage tab using structural Templates.

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-By Using the tools under the Collaborate tab make the architectural model a central model ,Re-open the architectural model.

PROCEDURE-

• OPEN the architectural file that we have saved as "project1".
• Goto Collaborate tab.
• Click on Collaborate

• Select "within your network" then click ok.
• save file as central model then click yes.

RESULT-

Successfully we have created "Central Model".

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

AIM- To Create the Grids Longitudinal and Transverse pattern for the project.

PPEOCEDURE-

• OPEN Revit file Goto Architetural Template.
• In architectural Tab goto "GRIDS"
• Create Longitudinal Grids as @10' c/c

• Create Transverse Grids as @15' c/c

RESULT

WE Have successfully Created the Grids Longitudinal and Transverse pattern for the project,

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-

• Goto collaborate tab
• Select Synchronize with central tab.
• Select ok to Synchronize the file.

RESULT-

Successfully we have Synchronize the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model

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

AIM-By Using the tools under the Collaborate tab make the structural model a central model.

PROCEDURE-

• OPEN the architectural file that we have saved as "project2".
• Goto Collaborate tab.
• Click on Collaborate

• Select "within your network" then click ok.
• save file as central model then click yes.

RESULT-

Successfully we have created "Central Model".

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- By the Help of Collaborate tab select the grids and levels from the architectural model, and using Copy Monitor try to copy the grids to the structural model.

PROCEDURE-

• OPEN the architectural file that we have saved as "project1".
• Goto Collaborate tab then goto Copy/monitor

• Select Copy monitor And select the grids to copy
• or else copy entire grids using the multiple option.

RESULT-

With the help of Copy Monitor we successfuly copied the grids and levels from the architectural model 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.

AIM-To Create another new file with a construction template & Save the new file as a central model. Also link architectural and structural model using manage links Under the manage tab.

PROCEDURE-

• Open Revit File with "Construction Templates".

• Goto Collaborate tab.
• Click on Collaborate

• Select "within your network" then click ok.
• save file as central model then click yes.

• From Manage Tab Goto Manage Link Then add Architecture & Structural Drawings.

• Then Click ok

RESULT-

Successfully we have linked both architectural and structural files in construction template by using Manage links.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

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

AIM- To match grids from structural and architectural model matching in the construction template created.

PROCEDURE-

• Select the linked file and move it to desired location in order to match grid lines.

RESULT-

We have successfully matched the Grid Lines.

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

flow chart of a project tree set up in terms of Construction model, Architecture & Structure model as shown below.

People working on same projects.

• Project manager
• Site Engineers
• Structural Engineers
• Architects
• MEP Designers
• Interior Designers
