After completing this lesson, you will be able to understand copy/monitor and coordination, copy grids and levels,
00:11
from an architectural model, create a coordination report, and select objects with element IDs.
00:19
The objective domains covered are, 5.1c, understand the concept of copy/monitor from a linked file.
00:27
When working with an architect in a Revit model, you can use this model as the basis of your structural design.
00:33
This enables you to stay coordinated amongst teams and avoid expensive reworks.
00:39
Copy will create a copy of the selected elements, but allow you to map this element to another family type.
00:45
Monitor would ensure that the elements remain synchronized.
00:50
Go ahead and open up the file 002 - copy and monitor.
00:55
Once the file is open, you'll notice that it opens in the site plan.
00:59
Our first task is to review the linked files in this particular model.
01:05
Go ahead and click the Manage ribbon, and on the Manage ribbon, select Manage Links.
01:12
In the Manage Links dialog, you'll notice that we have a Revit model already linked in.
01:18
And if you select the CAD Formats tab, you'll also notice that we have an AutoCAD file again linked in.
01:26
Go ahead and click "OK".
01:30
We're going to begin the process by copying the levels from the architect's model.
01:36
To do this, let's go ahead in the Project browser and open up the South elevation.
01:43
Note on the right hand side, we can now see the architect's levels.
01:49
To start the copy/monitor process, let's select the Collaborate ribbon, and on the Collaborate ribbon, we'll go ahead and select Copy/Monitor.
01:60
Here, we're going to go ahead and select the link.
02:05
Note if we had multiple Revit models inside this project, the tooltip would display the correct Revit model.
02:12
So in this case, we're going to go ahead and pick our architect's model.
02:18
We now have the Copy/Monitor context ribbon open, and here are displayed all the tools required to take us through the copy/monitor process.
02:27
Let's begin by taking a look at the options.
02:32
In the Copy/Monitor options, note on the Levels tab,
02:36
we have the ability here to see the architect's original types of levels and my types of levels on the right hand side.
02:44
If I wanted to change the mapping here, I could go ahead and select a different type.
02:51
If we now select the Grid tab, here, I don't want to copy any of the grids at all.
02:56
So I'm going to use the Shift key to allow me to multiple select all of the types.
03:02
And in the New Type's column, let's go ahead and select Don't copy this type.
03:10
We'll select the Columns tab and here you'll notice that the default is don't copy this type.
03:15
In fact, there's no columns in this project and we don't need to copy any of these at all.
03:21
Let's select the Walls tab.
03:23
The only one I'm interested in is the concept wall 10 inch.
03:27
So I'm going to go ahead with the Shift key again and select all of the remaining walls, and once again set the New Type to Don't copy this type.
03:38
And, in fact, the mapping up here is exactly what I want.
03:41
I want my concept wall 10 inch to match my exterior 10 inch concrete wall.
03:47
However, if we look at the additional copy parameters in the lower half of the window, you'll notice that copy windows, doors and openings is checked.
03:55
In this case, I do not want to copy those, so I'm going to uncheck that from the dialog box.
04:02
And lastly, if we select the Floors tab, you'll notice that all of the floors are going to be copied out to a generic 12 inch.
04:10
Once again, I don't want any of these copied, so we'll go ahead and use our Shift key to select all of those elements,
04:17
and here I can just say, do not copy this type.
04:21
So there we have our options configured, go ahead and click "OK".
04:28
So we're now ready to go ahead and copy these levels.
04:33
Click the Copy button.
04:36
On the Options bar, make sure we check the multiple option here.
04:41
This allows us to select multiple items on the screen.
04:46
We'll then use a window selection.
04:49
And just to ensure that I'm copying only levels, you'll note that we have filter selection again on the Options bar.
04:56
Let's go ahead and select that, and here I've just got Levels selected.
05:04
Once I'm happy with the selection, I can select the Finish button.
05:08
And you'll note that Revit copies those levels through into my project, and also we have the monitor symbol over here.
05:20
Next, we copy the core walls.
05:22
In the project browser, switch to the 3D view.
05:28
The first thing you'll notice with the 3D view is it doesn't much look like the architect's intention.
05:34
The reason for this is our structural template is dictating the visibility of these architectural elements.
05:41
To get this looking more like the architect's intention, we'll utilize visibility graphic overrides.
05:48
Click on the View ribbon and then select Visibility/Graphics.
05:55
In the dialog box, select the Revit Links tab.
06:00
Note here that the display settings are set by host view.
06:06
We will change this to by linked view.
06:09
If the architect's model has multiple 3D views configured, we could select the relevant one from the list.
06:17
Here, we only have one view.
06:19
Click "OK" and "OK" again, and you'll note here the Revit model now looks just like the architect's model.
06:27
So let's now copy the core walls.
06:30
Note on the ribbon, we already have the Copy/Monitor context ribbon active.
06:37
Once again, we'll select the Copy tool.
06:41
Check the Multiple option on the Options bar, and window select the walls.
06:50
Again, we could check that we've only got walls selected by using the Filter selection.
06:57
And then I can click "Finish".
07:01
Note now the walls are copied and they're also monitored.
07:08
I'm now finished with Copy/Monitor, so I can go ahead and select the Finish button.
07:15
Now to help us understand exactly what we're looking at here, we can now switch off the visibility of our architect's linked file.
07:24
Click on the View ribbon, then select the Visibility/Graphics tool.
07:30
Select Revit Links tab and uncheck the visibility.
07:36
So note now that I have my core walls displayed.
07:40
And finally, I'd like to show you what happens if we reload the architect's model when we've received a revision.
07:49
Select the Manage ribbon and then Manage Links.
07:55
In the Manage Links dialog box, in the Revit tab, you'll notice that we have our original architect's model.
08:02
Here, we're going to go ahead and Reload From.
08:06
Let's go ahead here and select 002 - Architect Revit Model V2.0.
08:15
Once the model is loaded, you'll note that Revit comes up with a warning, saying that the instance of this linked model needs a coordination review.
08:24
So we'll say "OK" to the Manage Links dialog.
08:27
Before we can select the link, we'll now need to reinstate the visibility of our architect's model.
08:33
So we can go to the View ribbon, select Visibility/Graphics, select the Revit Links tab and make sure it's visible.
08:48
Now we'll select the Collaborate ribbon and select Coordination Review.
08:54
Click Select link and pick the linked file.
09:01
Note now in the Coordination Review dialog, we can see here that we have a level moved by 1 foot.
09:09
And also here, we have a wall centerline that's moved and is different.
09:16
If we zoom into the model behind here, we can see the change.
09:20
So this is the original wall, here is the new position in V2.
09:30
What I'd like to do here now is put some actions in, so I'm going to reject the change, but will accept the change on our wall.
09:42
I also have the ability to add comments, so I'm going to select the Add comments option and here I can add a comment to send back to the architect.
10:01
So I put a comment in here, roof levels need to remain unchanged?
10:05
I can then select "OK" to the Edit Comments dialog box.
10:09
And here I could create a report.
10:13
The report is simply saved as a HTML file.
10:17
I could email this to the architect.
10:20
What you'll also notice here is we have an element ID for each of the elements that have changed.
10:26
The architect can simply select those elements via the element ID to identify the elements I am referring to.
00:04
After completing this lesson, you will be able to understand copy/monitor and coordination, copy grids and levels,
00:11
from an architectural model, create a coordination report, and select objects with element IDs.
