Usage of Collaborate tool in REVIT

QUESTION 1

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/Sout type 0'0"
• In East/West type 0'0"

To create project base points:

• Select the architectural tab select grids and draw the grids
• Rename the grids
• Select the manage tab and select specify coordinate at the point and select one grid and specify as 0'0"
• Select the specified coordinate at a point select another grid and specify 0'0"

RESULT

The project base point and shared coordinates are created

QUESTION 2

AIM

To create a structural template with the same parameters as the architectural project template

PROJECT

• Open new file
• Click on a structural template

• Go to manage tab>project coordinates> shared coordinates

• In the North/South tye 0'0"
• In east/West type 0'0"

RESULT

The project parameters are created in a structural plan

QUESTION 3

AIM

To create an architectural model central model using collaborate tool

PROCEDURE

• Open the architectural template file in Revit
• Select collaborate tab and select collaborate
• Two options will appear on the screen
• Select option within the network and press ok

RESULT

The architectural model is made a central model using collaborate tool.

QUESTION 4

AIM

To create grids in longitudinal and transverse pattern

PROCEDURE

• Open the architectural template file in Revit
• Go to architects tab>datum tab>grids
• Draw the grids in the transverse and longitudinal direction according to the plan of the project
• Rename the grids as per standards

RESULT

The grids are drawn

QUESTION 5

AIM

To synchronize the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model

COMMAND USED

Manage and Synchronize

PROCEDURE

• Open the file in Revit
• Select the manage tab select to synchronize tab and click ok

• The drawing will be synced with the central life

RESULT

The synchronize is done

QUESTION 6

AIM

To open structural model and use the collaborate 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

• The synchronize with central and modify

RESULT

The model is synchronized

QUESTION 7

AIM

To select the grids and levels from the architectural model and copy it to structural drawing is using collaborate tab

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 the structural template

RESULT

QUESTION 8

AIM
To create a new file with a construction template that includes both architectural and structural model

COMMAND USED

Manage, manage links

PROCEDURE

• Open the new file and save it as a construction template

• Select the collaborate tab and collaborate the files as a central file
• Select the manage tab and select manage link
• Select both architectural and structural templates and press ok
• Both the file will be opened in the combined one

RESULT

QUESTION 9

AIM

To insert the grids from structural template to architectural template and check whether it is matching with each other

COMMAND USED

Mange, manage links, acquire coordinates, position, relocate the position

PROCEDURE

• Open the architectural template and select the 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 coinciding

• Select the arch grid and select acquire coordinates and select the arch template grid
• Select the position icon click to relocate position and select the intersection point of the grids
• The grids will be positioned

RESULT

Structural and architectural models are coinciding in the construction template created. Therefore my week 6 challenge is set up for project 2

QUESTION 10

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 structural 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 structure would fail to cause serious consequences such as large expenses
• Once the architectural engineer sets the function and layout of the structure, the role of the structural engineer begins which can be summarized in the following steps to develop a safe, functional, and economic structure.
