Usage of Collaborate tool in REVIT

INTRODUCTION:-

Revit provides several different ways to collaborate with team members who are using the software.

• Several multiple model can be linked together, allowing team members to work in context.
• Through work sharing, user on same local area network can work together in the same revit model.
• When collaborate needs to occur among users who are not in the same geograpich location,Revit cloud work sharing can be used.
• Revit connect offices who share a network but are not in the same geographic location.
• Revit cloud work sharing is a cloud based service that allows any revit user inside or outside a network to collaborate on revit model.

When there is a need to combine multiple models and files in a single project, shared coordinates can be used to establish in position of the files in relation to each other.

To establish a common coordinate position and then share that position between files,Acquire coordinates tool can be used.

AIM 1:-

To set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project.

PROCEDURE:-

To set the project shared coordinates:

• Open the Revit softweare and open the architectural template.
• Now,open the manage tab of the ribbon and go to coordinate option in the project location.
• Now select project coordinates and in that choose specify coordinates at a point.
• Now, select either walls one by one.
• Make north south and east west values of the coordinate 0 and then click ok.
• Hence, project shared coordinate are set.

To set project base point:

• For this, go to architectural tab.
• In datum panel, choose grids.
• Then the base grids
• Hence base grid have been developed.

AIM 2:-

To open a new file with a structural templete and using the manage tab set project parameters the same as the architectural model and copy the parameters from the architectural model to the structural templete or enter the parameters manually into the structural model.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open a new file with structural templete.
• Now,go to Architecture tab and in the datum panel, choose grid and draw the base grids as done in the Architectural model.
• Go to manage tab of the ribbon and select project coordinates and then set the shared coordinates same as the architectural model.
• Make both east west and nort south coordinates 0.

AIM 3:-

To use tools under the collaborate tab to make the architectural model a central model.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open the architectural model.
• Go to collaborate tab of the ribbon.
• Choose collaborate option.
• Then select within your network.
• Hence the model is collaborated and is saved as a central file.

AIM 4:-

To create the grids in longitudinal and transverse pattern for the project.

PROCEDURE:-

• Go to architectural tab of the ribbon.
• Select grids in the datum panel.
• Then draw the longitudinal and transverse grids and name it accordingly ,(i.e, for longitudinal grid : 1-10 starting from right side;similarly for transverse grids: A-B starting).

AIM 5:-

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

PROCEDURE:-

• Go to collaborate tab of the ribbon.
• Choose sychorinise with central option in the synchronise panel.
• Then select synchronise and modify setting and then click ok.

AIM 6:-

To open the structural model and use the collaborate tools to save the model as a central file.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open the structural model.
• Now go to collaborate tab of the ribbon.
• Choose the collaborate option.
• It is collaborated. Now , save the file as central file.

AIM 7:-

To select the grid and levels from the architectural model, and using copy monitor copy the grids to structural model.

PROCEDURE:-

• Initially, go to the architectural model which is not the cental model.
• Or through manage link option in the insert also, we can add the revit link.
• Then the link that we choose will be inserted i.e, the architectural model link.
• Presently this link is just added, this can be checked by going to visibility graphics.
• Now, we have to copy this elements to the structural templete.
• For this, go to collaborate tab of the ribbon go to the copy/monitor, choose select link option.
• Now select the link in the screen an then click copy and then check multiple.

AIM 9:-

To 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

PROCEDURE:-

• Initially, go to the architectural model which is not the cental model.
• Or through manage link option in the insert also, we can add the revit link.
• Then the link that we choose will be inserted i.e, the architectural model link.
• Presently this link is just added, this can be checked by going to visibility graphics.
