This video focuses on dealing with the architect's levels. Essentially when we link a model into ours, we need to know how many floors we have, what height they are at, and what they are named. Luckily Revit has a system that allows us to copy the architect's levels and monitor them. So when the architect decides to move a level, Revit will tell us!
- [Instructor] The first thing we do when we start…any mechanical model is, we have to bring in…an architectural underlay.…What I'd like to do in this video is link…a Structural model, as well as an Architectural model.…In Revit, under Projects, let's start a new…model using a Mechanical Template.…Notice that we're in one Mech HVAC floor plan.…It doesn't really matter what view we're in,…as long as it's not a drafting view or a sheet.…So, go to the Insert tab, and here you'll find Link Revit.…
Another way to do this is if we scroll down…under Project to Browser, and we right click on Revit Links…we can go to New Link right here.…So, either way, I'm gonna go to Link Revit.…Browse through where you're keeping your exercise files.…The first one I'm gonna grab is Architectural.…Now, the positioning is Auto - Origin to Origin by default.…Your project may be on Shared Coordinates,…or you can go Project Base Point to Project Base Point.…
In this video, we'll go Audio - Origin to Origin.…Let's click Open.…Now with our Architectural model linked in,…
