Usage of Collaborate tool in REVIT
1A)
Aim: to set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project.
Procedure:
To create project shared coordinates:
Open architectural tab
Open Manage tab.
Click on project coordinates and then specific shared coordinates. In north/south type 0'0".
In east/west type 0'0"
To create project base points:
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".
Result:
the project base point and shared coordinates are created.
2A)
Aim:
to create strcutural template with the same parameters as architectural project template.
Procedure:
Open new file.
Click on structural template.
Go to manage tab>project coordinates>shared coordinates.
In the north/south type 0'0".
In east/west type 0'0".
Result: The project parameters are created in structural plan.
3A)
Aim:
to create architectural model a central model using collaborate tool.
Procedure:
Open the architectural template file in revit.
Select collaboarte tab and select collaborate.
Two option will appear on the screen.
Select the option within the network and press ok.
Result
the architectural model is made central model using collaborate tool.
4A)
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 longitudnal direction according to the plan of the project.
Rename the grids as per standards.
Result
the grids are drawn.
5A)
Aim: synchronize the changes from local copy to central file of architectural model.
Commands used: Manage and Synchronize
Select the manage tab and select synchronize tab and click ok.
The drawing will be be synced with the central file.
Result
the synchronize is done.
6A)
Aim:
to open strcutural model and using the collabortae 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 synchronize with central and modify.
Result
the model is synchronized,
7A)
Aim:
using collaborate tab,select grids and levels from the architechural model and copy it to structural model using copy monitor.
Commands used: Collaborate,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 grids and levels and select multiple and slelect copy.
Select the finsih command.
Open the structural template file and grids and columns will be found in structural template.
Result
8A)
Aim:
to create a new file with a construction template which includes both architectural and structural model.
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.
Select both architectural and
structural template and press ok
Both the file will be opened in the combined one.
9A)
Aim:
insert the grids from structural template to architectural template and check whether it is matching with each other.
Command used: manage,manage links,aquire coordinates,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 appear in the arch template and it is not coninciding.
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
my strcutural and architectural model are coninciding in the construction template created. Therefore my week 6 challenge is set up for project 2.
10A)
For the construction model the project tree is as:
Site access
Logistics and storage
Quality control
Outstanding contract details
Outstanding design-related challenges
Health and safety
For architectural model
Schematic design
Design Development
Construction Documents Bidding
Construction Administration.
For structural model
The primary objective of structure analysis and design is to produce a structure capable of resisting all applied loads without failure during its intended life.If improperly designed,elements of a structure would fail causing serious
consequences such as large expenses.
Once the architechtural engineer sets the function and layout of the structure,the role of the structural
