Usage of Collaborate tool in REVIT
ANSWER 1: OPEN AN ARCHITECTURAL TEMPALTE. USING THE MANAGE TAB SET PROJECT BASE POINT AND PROJECT SHARED COORDIANTES FOR THE PROJECT .
AIM : TO SET BASE POINT AND COORDINATE POINT FOR SHARED PROJECT .
PROCEDURE :
STEP 1.> USING THE ARCHITECTURAL TAB , GRIDS ARE DRAWN AND ARE NAMED ACCORDINGLY AS SHOWN BELOW .
FIG
STEP 2 > FROM THE MANAGE TAB, SELECT SPECIFY CO-ORDINATE AT POINT AND SELECT THE POINT AS 0'0" FOR NORTH -SOUTH AND EAST -WEST AS SHOWN BELOW BY SELECTING THE RESPECTIVE GRIDS .
CLICK ON PROJECT COORDINATE AND THEN SPECIFIC SHARED COORDINATES.
IN NORTH /SOUTH TYPE 0'0"
IN EAST/WEST TYPE 0'0" .
FIG.
FIG.
STEP 3> COLLAORATE THIS FILE UNDER THE COLLABORATE TAB .
RESULT : THE PROJECT BASEPOINT AND SHARED COORDINATES ARE CREATED .
ANSWER 2 : OPEN ANOOTHER NEW FILE BUT WITH A STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE .USING THE MANAGE TAB SET PROJECT PARAMETERS.
THE SAME AS THE ARCHTECTURAL MODEL .COPY THE PARAMETERS FROM THE ARCHITECTURAL MODEL TO THE STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE OR ENTER THE PARAMETERS MANUALLY IN TO THE STRUCRCTURAL MODEL .
AIM : TO CREATE THE STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE WITH THE SAME PARAMETERS AS ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT TEMPLATE .
PROCEDURE :
STEP 1
- OPEN NEW FILE.
- CLICK ON STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE .
- GRIDS ARE DRAWN AND ARE NAMED ACCORDINGLY AS SHOWN BELOW .
STEP 2
- GO THE MANAGE TAB > PROJECT COORDINATE > SHARED COORDINATE
- SELECT THE POINT AS 0'0" FOR NORTH-SOUTH AND EAST -WEST AS SHOWN BELOW BY SELECTING THE REPECTIVE GRIDS.
RESULT : THE PROJECT PARAMETERS ARE CREATED IN STRUCTURAL PLAN.
ANSWER 3 : RE-OPEN THE ARCHITECTURAL MODEL .USING THE TOOLS UNDER THE COLLABORATE TAB MAKE THE ARCHITECTURAL MODEL A CENTRAL MODEL ( ENABLING SIMULTANOEOUS WORKING ON THE MODEL ).
AIM : TO CREATE ARCHITECTURAL MODEL A CENTRAL MODEL USING COLLABORATE TOOL .
PROCEDURE :
- OPEN THE ARCHITURAL TEMPLATE FILE IN REVIT .
- SELECT COLLABORATE TAB AND SELECT COLLABORATE .
- TWO OPTION WILL APPEARS ON THE SCREEN .
- SELECT THE OPTION WITHIN THE NETWORK AND PRESS OK .
- START THE ENABLING WORKING SHARED .
RESULT : THE ARCHITECURAL MODEL IS MADE CENTRAL MODEL USING COLLABORATE TOOL .
ANSWER 4 : CREATE THE GRIDS LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSE PATTERN FOR THE PROJECT SIMILAR TO THE TASK DONE IN WEEK 2 .
AIM : TO CREATE GRIDS IN LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSE PATTERN .
PROCEDURE :
- OPEN THE ARCHITECTURAL TEMPLATE FILE IN REVIT .
- GO TO ARCHITECTURAL TAB > DATUM TAB > GRIDS
- DRAW THE GRIDS IN TRANSVERSE AND LONGITUNAL DIRECTION ACCORDING TO THE PLAN OF THE PROJECT
- RENAME THE GRIDS AS PER STANDARDS.
- RESULT : THE GRIDS ARE DRWN .
ANSWER 5: SYNCHRONIZE THE CHANGES FROM THE LOCAL COPY TO THE CENTRAL FILE OF THE ARCHITECTURAL MODEL .
AIM : SYNCHRONIZE THE CHANGES FROM LOCAL COPY TO CENTRAL FILE OF ARCHITECTURAL MODEL .
COMMAND USED :
MANAGE AND SYNCRONIZE TAB .
PROCEDURE :
- OPEN THE FILE IN REVIT
- SELECT THE MANAGE TAB AND SELECT SYNCHRONIZE TAB AND CLICK OK .
- THE DRAWING WILL BE SYNCED WITH THE CENTRAL FILE .
- RESULT : THE SYNCHRONIZE IS DONE .
ANSWER 6 : OPEN THE STRUCTURAL MODEL AND USE THE COLLABORATE TOOLS TO SAVE THE MODEL AS A CENTRAL FILE .
AIM : TO OPEN STRCUTURAL MODEL AND USING THE COLLABORATE TOOLS TO SAVE THE MODEL AS A CENTRAL FILE .
PROCEDURE :
- OPEN THE STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE IN THE REVIT
- SELECT THE COLLABORATE TAB AND SELECT COLLABORATE .
- SELECT THE COLLABORATE WITHIN YOUR NETWORK SAVE IT AS SAVING FOR THE FIRST TIME IT WILL MAKE A CENTRAL FILE.
- THEN SYNCRONISE WITH CENTRAL AND MODIFY .
RESULT :
THE MODEL IS SYNCHRONZED.
ANSWER 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 : USING COLLABORATE TAB, SELECT GRIDS AND LEVELS FROM THE ARCHITECTURAL MODEL AND COPY IT TO STRUCTURAL MODEL USING COPY MONITOR .
COMMAND USED : COLLABORATED ,COPY MONITOR, SELECT LINK AND COPY
PROCEDURE :
- OPEN THE ARCHITECTURAL TAB AND SELECT COLLABORATE TAB SELECT COPY MONITOR AND SELECT LINK SO MY STRUCTURAL DRAWING IS LINKED .
- SELECT THE INSERT TAB > LINK REVIT>
- OPEN THE ARCHITECTURAL FILE
- OPEN THE STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE FILE AND GRIDS AND COLUMN WILL BE FOUND IN STRUCTRUAL TEMPLATE .
IO
- WE CAN RECHECKED THE GRIDS ARE LINKED OR COPY BY " VG COMMAND "
- UNCHECKED THE ARCHITECTURAL TEMPLATE THEN ARCHITECTURAL GRIDS ARE INVISIBLE TO THE STRUCTRAL TEMPLATE .
- WHEN CHECKED THE ARCHITECTURAL TEMPLATE ,THEN VISBILE THE ARCHITECTURAL TEMPLATE TO THE STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE .
- WE CAN COPY THE ARCHITURAL TEMPLATE TO THE STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE
- COMMAND USED : COPY MONITOR.
- GO TO THE COPY MONITOR TAB > SELECT LINKED
- GO TO THE COPY AND CLICK THE MULTIPLE AND SELECT THE GRIDS. AND CLICK THE FINISH.
- AGAIN GO TO TJHE COPY/MONITOR TAB AND CLICK THE FINSIH.
RESULT :
COPY THE GRIDS TO THE STRUCTURAL MODEL
ANSWER 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 LINK TO LINK BOTH ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUTURAL FILES . SAVE THE FILE AND CLOSE ALL THE FILES .
AIM : TO CREATE A NEW FILE WITH A CONSTRUCTION TEMPLATE WHICH INCLUDE BOTH ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL MODEL .
COMMAND 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 TAB AND SELECT MANAGE LINK .
- SELECT BOTH ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE AND PRESS OK.
- BOTH THE FILE WILL BE OPENED IN THE COMBINE ONE .
RESULT :
IN CONSTRUCTION MODEL BOTH FILE STRUCTURAL FILE AND ARCHITECTURAL FILE ARE OEN IN ONE COMBINE FILE.
ANSWER9: ARE THE GRIDS FROM STRUCTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL MODEL MATCHING IN THE CONSTRUCTION TEMPLATE CREATED? IF YES THE MODEL IS SET UP FOR THE PROJECT 2. IF NOT WORK ON THE SHARED PARAMETERS AND LINKING OPTION UNDER MANAGE LINKS ( HINTS: ORIGIN TO ORIGIN , BY SHARED COORDINATES OR BY PROJECT BASE POINT TO BASE POINT ) TO LINK THE MODELS IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER .
AIM : INSERT GRIDS FROM STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE TO ARCHITECTURAL TEMPLATE AND CHECK WHETHER IT IS MATCHING WITH EACH OTHER .
COMMAND USED : MANAGE,MANAGE LINKS, AQUIRE COORDINATE POSITION , RELOCATE POSITION.
PROCEDURE :
- OPEN THE ARCHITECTURAL TEMPLATE AND SELECT MANAGE TAB .
- IN THE MANAGE TAB SELECT THE MANAGE LINKS AND SELECT THE STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE DRAWING .
- BOTH THE GRIDS WILL APPEARS IN THE ARCH TEMPLATE AND IT IS CONINCIDING
RESULT :
- MY STRUCTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL MODEL ARE CONINCIDING IN THE CONSTRUCTION TEMPLATE CREATED.
- THEREFORE MY WEEK 6 CHALLENGE IS SET UP FOR PROJECT 2 .
- FIG.
ANSWER 10: LIST A FLOW CHART OF A PROJECTPLINES CAN WORK TREE SET UP IN TERMS OF CONSTRUCTION MODEL, ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURE MODEL ,IN THIS EXERCISE AND UNDERSTAND HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN WORK ON THE SAME PROJECT USING REVIT SIMULTANEOUSLY.
- CONSTRUCTION MODEL IS COMBINATION OF BOTH ARCHITECTURAL MODEL AND STRUCTURAL MODEL .
- FLOW CHART IS GIVEN AS FOLLOW :
- CONSTRUCTION MODEL :
|
|
- MODELLING WALLS 1. MODELLING COLOUMN .
- MODELLING WINDOW 2.MODELLING BEAM
- MODELLING DOORS 3.MODELLING FOOTING
- ASSIGN MATERIALS 4.MODELLING STRUCTURAL FLOORS
- MODELLING ARCHITECUTRAL ROOFING'S AND CELLING'S 5. MODELLING LABS
- ENABLES TO PROVIDE THE GEOGRAPHIC CONDITION OF 6. SYSTEM MODELLING TREES
- MODELLING STAIRCASE 7. MODELLING CONNECTIONS
- CREATES OPENINGS 8. STRUCTURAL MODEL IN GENERAL DEVELOPS THE ENTIRE FRAMEWORK OF A STRUCTURAL
- ARCHITECTURAL MODEL IN OVERALL CONTRIBUTES TO THE AESTHEIC BEAUTY OF A BUILDING .
NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT CAN WORK ON THE SAME PROJECT USING REVIT SIMULTANEOUSLY:
REVIT ALLOWS MULTIPLE USER 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. MEMBER FROM VARIOUS DISCIPLINE CAN WORK TOGETHER IN A REVIT PROJECT LIKE :
- ARCHITECTS
- STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS
- MEP ENGINEERS ie, MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING ENGINEERS.
- HVAC ENGINEERS ie, HEATING, VENTILATING AND AIR CONDITIONING .
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WORKING SIMULTANEOUSLY MAY DEPEND UPON THE TYPE OF PROJECT BEING DONE .
