11. Analyse tool bar helps in creating revit models, this tool bar consists of many other options which help in load combinations, boundary conditions, loads and support system are one among the tools under this analyze tool bar where we get to adjust the model and add additional supports to the present model, it also verifies the analytical and physical model for the consistency. Space seperation, space naming and space tagging are also the options available assigning the names and numbers to the architectural rooms. Colour fill and energy optimization are the tools which help to know how far the present model is eco friendly and economical.

12. links that support revit to link models are

• Link revit
• Link IFC
• Link CAD
• Link tropography
• DWF markup
• Point Cloud
• Coordination model
• Link PDF
• Link Image

13. to link up multiple rivet models together we use Collaborate Tab that is any member among a particular team can haveacces to do change required that is very much usefulwhen a team consists different cader of people working around that is for a steel designer to a meachanical engineer . this helps people there to work with higher accuracy which will increase the efficiency .
