Usage of Collaborate tool in REVIT
CHALLENGE WEEK 6
Question: -1
Aim: -
To Open an architectural template. Using the Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project
Collaborate
Architectural
Grids
manage
Procedure: -
Select the Architectural tab and select grids and draw the grids
Rename the grids
Select the manage tab and select specify coordinate at point and select one grid and specify as 0'0"
Select the specify coordinate at a point and select another grid and specify 0'0"
select the collaborate tab and collaborate the drawing
Select save and save it as Residential building_ Arch
Result: -
Question: -2
Aim: -
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.
Commands Used: -
Structural
Grid
Manage
Specify coordinate at a point
Collaborate
Procedure: -
Select the structural tab and select grid
Draw the grids
Rename the grids
Select the manage tab and select specify coordinate at a point and give the value as 0'0" for both the grids
Save the file with appropriate name
Results: -
Question: -3
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)
Procedure: -
Open the arch template file in revit
select the collaborate tab and select collaborate
Option will appear as how will be collaborate teh file
Select the option within the network and press ok
Result: -
Question: -4
Aim: -
Create the Grids Longitudinal and Transverse pattern for the project similar to the task done in Week 2
Procedure: -
Open the arch template file in revit
Select the architectural tab and select grids
Draw the grids in equal distance say 30'
Draw the grid and select the grid and select the distance and click and make it as 30'
With the same procedure draw transverse and longitudnal grids and save the file
Rename the grids as per standards
Result: -
Question: -5
Aim: -
5) Synchronize the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model.
Commands used:
Manage
Synchronize tab
Procedure: -
open the file in revit
Select the manage tab
Then select synchronize tab
and click ok
The drawing with will synced with the central file
Result: -
Question: -6
Aim: -
Open the structural model and use the collaborate tools to save the model as a central file.
Commands used:
Collaborate l
Procedure: -
Open the structure template in the revit
Select the collaborate tab and select collaborate
Select the collaborate within your network and save it as saving for the first time it will make a central file
Result: -
Question: -7
Aim: -
To 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.
Commands used:-
Collaborate
copy monitor
select link
copy
Procedure: -
open the architectural tab and select collaborate tab select copy monitor and select link so my structural drawing is
linked
select the grids and levels and select multiple and select copy
select the finish command
open the structural template file and grids and columns will be found in structural template
Result: -
Question: -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: - Create Construction template and save it as central model and link both architectural and structural files
Commands used:
Manage
Manage links
Procedure: -
Open the new file and save it as construction template
Select the collaborate tab and collaborate the file as central file
Select the manage taw and select manage link
and select both arch and struc template and press ok
Both the file will be opened in the combined one
Result: -
Question: -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
AIM:- Insert the grids from structure template to arch template and check whether it is coinciding with each other
Commands used:
Manage
manage links
acquire coordinates
position
Relocate position
Procedure: -
open the arch template and select manage tab
In the manage tab select manage links and select the structure template drawing
Both the grids will appear in the arch template and it’s not coinciding
Select the arch grid and select acquire coordinates and select the arch template grid
select the position icon and click relocate position and select the intersection point of the grids
The grids will be positioned
Result: -
Question: -10
Aim: -
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
Procedure: -
