Usage of Collaborate tool in REVIT
Question 1) Open an architectural template.Using the manage tab set project base point & project shared coordinate for project?
Answer:
Aim: To open architectural template, use manage tab to set project base point & project shared coordinate for project.
Introduction:
Revit gives different way to collaborate with team mates who are using same software.
- Several multiple we can linked together, allowing team mates to work in a content.
- When collaboration need to occur with some users who are not in same geographic location, Revit cloud worksharing can be used.
- With the help of Revit , we can able to connect with offices who share a network but are not in the same geographic location.
- Using Revit software cloud worksharing is a cloud based service that allows any revit user inside or outside.
Using Revit software we can combine multiple models and files in a single project, shared coordinates can be used to establish position of files
Procedure:
STEP-1
Open Revit software
On the home page click on new and select Imperial-Architectural Template
STEP-2: Creating Basepoint
Open Architectural tab of the ribbon tab and go to coordinate option in the project location.
In datum panel click on GRID to draw grid.
And we have to draw one horizontal and vertical grid.
STEP-3: Setting Project Coordinates
Now go to Manage tab in ribbon bar
In project location panel and click on coordinates dropdown
Then click on Specify Coordinates at point
Now click to vertical gridline and set East/West as 0'0" as shown in screenshot
Then click on horizontal grid line and set North/South as 0'0" as shown in screenshot
Hence base grids have been developed.
Result:
Project coordinates have been created and collaboration tool is used to save the file as a central model file.

Question 4)
Answer:
Aim: To Create grids longitudinal and transverse pattern for the project similar to task done in previous week
Introduction: Grids are place column grid lines in building design. We can add columns along column grid lines, Gridlines are finite planes.
We can drag theirextents in elevation views so that they do not intersect level lines.
Procedure:
STEP-1: Open Week 2 File
Open Revit
Click to the open week 2 challenge
STEP-2: Create Grids
Go to Architectural tab
In datum panel click on GRID to draw grids
Draw horizontal and vertical grids at column points
Set horizontal grid names from top to bottom in alphabets as shown in figure
Set Vertical grids names from right to left in numerical as shown in figure
Result:
The final end result of both verticale and horizontal grids is as follows
Question 5)
Answer:
Aim: To synchronize the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model.
Introduction: Synchronizing local copy file to the central file will bring changes done to model in local copy to a central file.
Command Used: Manage and Synchronize tab
Procedure:
STEP-1: Opening Architectural File
Open Revit
Click on Architectural file
STEP-2: Synchronizing with Central File
Go to collaborate tab
then synchronize with central
From popup click on browse to select a combined file
Click ok to save
Result:
We can able to changes from local copy to the central file of architectural model
Question 6)
Answer:
Aim: To open the structural model and use collaborate tools to save model as a central file.
Introduction:
When working on a workshared project, use the synchronize with central tool to save your local changes to the central model. To synchronize with central click collaborate tab synchronize panel synchronize with central drop-down.
Central model stores curremt ownership information for all worksets and elements in project
The process of making model as a central file by using collaborate tool are explained in below
Procedure:
