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:

Using manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project in architectural template

INRTODUCTION:

In the architectural template set the project base point and project shared coordinate by using manage tab

PROCEDURE:-

• Open Revit 2023 software
• In the MODELS, select NEW from Autodesk Revit HOME tab
• Select Architectural Template from template file with creation of project

• And save the project as "Architectural week 6th plan"

• In the Architectural tab, go to Datum panel
• Select Grid to DRAW in the drawing sheet

• Create horizonatal and vertical grids i.e transverse and longitudinal grid
• Change the name of vertical grid as 1 and horizontal grid as A

• Then, Go to Manage tab drop down the coordinate in the Project Location panel
• Select the Specify Coordinates at Point

• Click on horizontal grid enter the new coordinate for North/South As 0’-0”
• Similarly new coordinates for vertical grid (east-west ') as 0'0"

• Type V to involk the visibility graphics dialog box
• CLICK on Site and expand it and give check mark on Project Base Point then click OK

• Base point will show in the model sheet
• Click on the base point and unpinned if it is pinned
• Move the base point to the intersection of the GRIDS then pinned the base point for stabilization of grids

RESULT:

We created Architecture Template,Set Project Base point and Set Project Shared Coordinates.

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

RESULT:-

We successfully insert or link the structural and architectural templete in a construction templete

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:-

To check whether the grids from the structural and architectural model matches in the construction template created.

PROCEDURE:-

• The output we got on the constrction templete is as below;

• Here, it is clearly visible that the architectural and structural template matches thoroughly in the construction template created. therefore, mymodel is set for the project 2.

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

ANSWER:-

• As we know, Construction model is combination of both architectural model anad structural model.
• Flow chart is given as follows:

CONSTRUCTION MODEL
STRUCTURAL MODEL	ARCHITECTURAL MODEL
Footing and foundation	Doors
Columns	Windows
Beams	Furnitures
Slab	Ceilling
Staircase	Lighting elements
Truss	Railling
Steel sections	Materials

People that can work on the same project using Revit simultaneously:

Revit allows multiple users to work simultaneously on one revit project. This can be achieved through worksharing. Using linked elements, project elements are separated into individually managed models that can be linked together. Members from various disciplines can work together in a revit project like:

• Architects
• Structural engineers.
• MEP engineers i.e, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Engineers.
• HVAC engineers i.e Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning

The number of people working simultaneously may depend upon the type of project being done.
