2) Choose the destintion folder and rename it
3) Click Save.
Result:
Using the Manage tab the project base point and project shared coordinates have been setup successfully for the project in the architectural template.
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
Aim:
To creating a structural tempelate and copying the parameters from architectural to structural tempelate.
Procedure:
1) Open Revit application and select New
2) Choose Structural tempelate
1) Click Project parameter under the manage tab
2) Name it and select the discipline as Structural
3) Filter the Architectural tool and select all.
1) After creating the parameters it will shown property browser
2) Click save as and choose destination folder.
Result:
Using the Manage tab the project base point and project shared coordinates have been setup successfully for the project in the structural template.
3) Re-open the architectural model. Using the tools under the Collaborate tab make the architectural model a central model (enabling simultaneous working on the model)
Aim:
To make the central model of architectural tempelate usig colloborate tab.
Procedure:
1) Click Colloborate tool under colloborate tab
2) Seelct within your network option and click ok
1) After setting the colloborate click workset
2) Check workset tool is it visible or not
3) Click ok
1) Click Synchronize with central tool under manage tab
2)click Save as and Choose the destination folder
3) Click ok
1) After creating the central model click save as
2) choose destination folder, rename it and click ok
Result:
Created an architectural model as a central model using the collaborate tab.
4) Create the Grids Longitudinal and Transverse pattern for the project similar to the task done in Week 2
Aim:
To Creating he Grids Longitudinal and Transverse pattern for the project similar to the task done in Week 2
Procedure:
1) Open Revit and choose new tempelate
2) Select grid tool from architectural tab
3) Select pick point and change offset value as 10'
4) Draw the grids longitudinally and transversely
Result:
Created the Grids Longitudinal and Transverse pattern for the project similar to the task done in Week 2.
5) Synchronize the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model.
Aim:
To Synchronizing the changes from the local copy to the central file of architectural model.
Procedure:
1) Click Colloborate tool under colloborate tab
2) Selct within your network option and click ok
3) After setting the colloborate click workset
4) Check workset tool is it visible or not
5) Click Synchronize with central tool under manage tab
6)click Save as and Choose the destination folder
7) Click ok
Result:
Synchronized the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model.
6) Open the structural model and use the collaborate tools to save the model as a central file.
Aim:
To Opening the structural model and using collaborate tools save the model as central file
Procedure:
Click to open the structural model which is already created
After setting the colloborate click workset
choose within a network option
Click ok
Click Synchronize with central tool under manage tab
click Save as and Choose the destination folder
Click ok
Result:
Saved the model as a central file using the collaborate tool in the structural model.
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:
To copy the grids from the architectural model to the structural model using Copy Monitor option.
Procedure:
Open the architectural model which we created as a central model file
1) Click link under manage tab
2) Add the structural model into the current project using link option
3) Click Copy monitor tool under colaborate tab and choose select link
1) Select copy option
2) Tick the multiple option so that we can copy all the object in a single click
3) Select the object which we want to copy
1) Click the tick mark and complete the copy monitor process
2) Hence the objects from architecture to structure model completed sucessfully
Result:
Successfully copied the grids from architectural model to the structural model using the copy/monitor tool.
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 links to link both architectural and structural files. Save the file and close all the files.
Aim:
To creating a new file and link both architectural and structural tempalate.
Procedure:
1) Open Revit Application
2) Select New and choose Construction tempelate
1) Click Colloborate tool under colloborate tab
2) Selct within your network option and click ok
3) After setting the colloborate click workset
4) Check workset tool is it visible or not
5) Click Synchronize with central tool under manage tab
6)click Save as and Choose the destination folder
7) Click ok
1) After creating the colaboration and click save as
2) Choose destination folder and rename it
1) Click link under manage tab
2) Add the structural and architectural model into the current project using link option
3) Click ok
4) Click save as and save it
Result:
Created new file with a construction template and saved the new file as central model.
And both architectural and structural files are linked successfully in a single project using the manage links tool.
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
Yes, the grids from structural and architectural model matching in the construction template created successfully and my model is set up for 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
