Join Brian Myers for an in-depth discussion in this video Options for copying and monitoring important building elements in a structure, part of Revit Structure 2013 Essential Training.
The Copy Monitor Tool is used to setup projects and monitor important building elements in a structure.…In this exercise let's use Copy/Monitor on the linked in projects column grid here.…This happens to be the linked in architectural model, and right now the only thing that we…have actually in here are our own levels as well as our own elevation symbols.…We haven't drawn anything physically inside of this model just yet.…What we'll want to do is we want to do what's called a Copy and Monitor on each one of these…little circular shapes which are our column grids throughout the building.…
By doing a Copy/Monitor on these, it means that if the architect would try to move his…columns from one location to another, us as being the ones that are doing the structural…design will automatically get notified that the fact he moved that and then we all have…the opportunity of A,…either accepting that or B,…not accepting that change inside of the Revit model.…So, in order to do this since we're going to be collaborating with this other person,…
