Usage of Collaborate tool in REVIT
- 1) Open an architectural template. Using the Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project
Answer -
- Open the architectural template
- Draw 1 Longitudinal grid and 1 transverse grid
- Open manage tab
- Click on project coordinates
- Click on specify coordinates
- Select Longitudinal grid and specify its coordinates as 0'0"
- Select transverse grid and specify its coordinates as 0'0".
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
Answer -
- Open the structural template
- Draw 1 Longitudinal grid and 1 transverse grid
- Open manage tab
- Click on project coordinates
- Click on specify coordinates
- Select Longitudinal grid and specify its coordinates as 0'0"
- Select transverse grid and specify its coordinates as 0'0".
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)
Answer -
- Open previous architectural model
- Open collaborate tab
- Click on collaborate in cloud
- Select either " Collaborate on your network" or "Collaborate on cloud"
- After that click on file menu
- Select "Save as" option
- Select project
- click on options
- select options as shown in photo below
- Click on save
4) Create the Grids Longitudinal and Transverse pattern for the project similar to the task done in Week 2
Answer -
- Open the architectural model
- Take previous 2 grids as refrence
- add similar grids at 30' distance for both longitudinal and transverse.
5) Synchronize the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model.
Answer -
- Open collaborate tab
- Click on synchronise with central
- Click pn synchronise now
6) Open the structural model and use the collaborate tools to save the model as a central file.
Answer
- Open previous Structural model
- Open collaborate tab
- Click on collaborate in cloud
- Select either " Collaborate on your network" or "Collaborate on cloud"
- After that click on file menu
- Select "Save as" option
- Select project
- click on options
- select options as shown in photo below
- Click on save
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
Answer -
- Open the previous Structural model
- Link the architectural model in structural model
- click on copy/monitor tab
- It will ask for 'select link'
- After selecting the link it will show menu like below photo.
- Click on copy
- and then select the elements which you want to copy
- click on finish
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.
Answer -
- Open new project using construction template
- Link both model 'architecural' and 'structural' in this template using manage tab.
- Open manage tab
- Click on manage links
- add Structural and architectural models.
