Week 1 Challenge
13) Why do you need Collaborate tab in Revit? How it supports modelling and its efficiency
Collaborate tab helps to club all the individual works to a single unit. this is mostly used in case of big projects. the work is divided individulally and when completed individually, this tab helps to combine the individual work.By this,more people can work under the same drawing or project which makes the work more efficient.
12) What are the links that Revit supports to be linked to the model?
Links that revit supports are
1) Link topography 3) Link revit
2) Link CAD
11) What is Analyze tool bar used in Revit? How it is beneficial for design and modelling
Analyze tool bar is used to analyse the structural members when are subjected to different kinds of loadings and helps tofind the load failure in the structure.
1) From the file menu, create a new project (Structural / Architectural / Construction template ) and name the project appropriately
AIM: to create a new project from the file menu and naming the project accordingly
TOOLS REQUIRED:
1) file menu 2) new
