Copy grids<br />

The Copy/Monitor Options dialog opens. Elements available for monitoring are separated into<br />

5 categories (Levels, Grids, Columns, Walls, and Floors). On each tab the Original Type column<br />

identifies the type for the Revit Architecture file, and the New Type for the corresponding<br />

element available in the template selected. Each tab provides various parameters that can be set<br />

for that specific element. Also, you can exclude element types you do not want to copy.<br />

13 In the Copy/Monitor Options dialog, click the Columns tab.<br />

NOTE Architectural columns typically extend through multiple layers of a model. A column may<br />

span from level 1 to level 10 of a structure and may present a problem when the analytical model is<br />

generated. Therefore, columns need to be split at each level.<br />

14 In the Columns dialog, under Additional Copy Parameters, select Split Columns by Levels.<br />

15 Set the other parameter as desired. When finished, click OK to close the Copy/Monitor Options<br />

Dialog.<br />

16 In the Project Browser, under Structural Plans, select Level 2.<br />

17 On the Copy/Monitor Design Bar, click Copy.<br />

18 Click the grid to be copied/monitored.<br />
