AIM: -
Copy the grids drawn in the Architectural file to the Structural model using Copy Monitor tool.
Observe the changes occurred in the Structural model.
PROCEDURE: -
Open the Structural File which we created.
Click on INSERT TAB
Go to LINK panel
Choose Link Revit tool
Import/Link RVT dialogue box opens
Select the Architectural File in which we drawn Gridlines.
Click on OPEN

It is not copied to the Structural File.
Now, The Gridlines are imported to the Structural file.
To Check whether the file is imported or copied,
Type VG
Visibility graphics dialogue box opens
Select Revit Links Tab
Untick on the Imported file.
Press Apply
The Gridlines disappears from the Model space.
Now we have to copy these Gridlines to the structural file.
