The drawing with will synced with the central file
Result:-
Q-6:-
Open the structural model and using collaborate tools save the model as central file.
AIM:- Collaborate Structural model as a central file
Commands used:-
Collaborate
Procedure:-
Open the struc template in the revit
Select the collaborate tab and select collaborate
Select the collabaorate within your network and save it as saving for the first time it will make a central file
Result:-
Q-7:-
Under Collaborate tab, select the grids and levels from architectural model and using Copy Monitor try to copy the grids to 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 architectural model and copy it to structural model using copy monitor
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
Q-8:-
Create another new file with construction template. Save the new file as central model. This file will include both architectural and structural model. Under 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 tab and select manage link
and select both arch and struc template and press ok
Both the file will be opened in the combined one
Results:-
Q-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 appropriate manner
AIM:- Insert the grids from struc template to arch template and check wheather it is coinsiding 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 ans select the struc template drawing
Both the grids will appear in the arch template and its not coinsiding
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.
