11) WHAT IS ANALYZE TOOL BAR USED IN REVIT? HOW IT IS BENEFICIAL FOR DESIGN AND MODELING
- Analyze tool bar is used to analyze the entire structural project.It also help in load combinations,Boundary conditions,cases adjustments etc
- It helps in energy analysis or energy optimization of building
- It evaluates and generate sustainability of the structure so one can change develop necessary changes in project.
- It also helps in managing cooling and heating loads.
- There are many options available in this analyze tool bar as shown in figure below
12)WHAT ARE THE LINKS THAT REVIT SUPPORTS TO BE LINKED TO THE MODEL
- LINK REVIT: Link one revit model to current revit model or another revit model
- LINK CAD:Link 2D plan to revit file then converts to 3D model by using 3D dimesions
- LINK IFC:Links an IFC file to current project for information that is required for additional design work
- LINK TOPOGRAPHY: Links the existing topography to present revit model
- MANAGE LINKS:It link Revit Cad files to current working project
- LINK IMAGE:Link an image for the current working project
- DWF MARKUP:Links DWF files into Revit project
- POINT CLOUD:Links Point cloud project into current project
- COORDINATION MODEL:Links a NWD or NWC file to provide context for the Revit model
- 13)WHY DO YOU COLLABORATE TAB IN REVIT? HOW IT SUPPORTS MODELLING AND EFFICIENCY
- Collaborate tab is one where team members or group of people can create multiple projects,these members are not only inside network but also outside network
- This makes one to create more projects in less time.
- Under this Collaborate tab we have many options like to show past work ,Coordination Review etc
- Efficiency of the work can be increased as more no of people work on same project,this makes to take less time to complete project .
