Project Coordination<br />

You have received the latest model from the architect and changes have been made to the design. In this tutorial, the<br />

structural engineer imports the modified Revit Architecture model, reviews each change individually, and determines the<br />

impact of each modification on the structure. This task is accomplished using the copy monitor feature that was activated<br />

when the project was started. Once each change has been reviewed, an interference check is run on the model to correct<br />

the placement of any architectural elements (door, or window) that might interfere with elements in the <strong>Autodesk</strong> Revit<br />

Structure 2009 model. Finally, all changes are documented using the Revit Structure revision system feature.<br />

Coordination Review<br />

In this lesson, you begin by opening the Revit Structure file that contains the modified Revit Architecture<br />

file. In the tutorial, Starting a New Project on page 115, the architect’s file was imported into Revit Structure,<br />

and the copy monitor feature was activated. This feature enabled the engineer to monitor the project grids,<br />

levels, floors, walls, and columns for any future modifications. When the modified file is brought back into<br />

Revit Structure, the copy monitor feature automatically notifies you of the changes, which can be accepted,<br />

rejected, or postponed, depending on the impact to the design. Finally, you run an interference check to<br />

verify that the changes do not interfere with structural elements of the model.<br />

Opening the Modified Revit Architecture file<br />

Training File<br />

■ Click File menu ➤ Open.<br />

■ In the left pane of the Open dialog, click Training Files, and open <strong>Metric</strong>\m_RST_Coordination.rvt<br />

NOTE Because some of the changes from the architect involve elements that are monitored by the copy monitor<br />

feature of Revit Structure, a warning is displayed. Click OK to open the file.<br />

1 In the Project Browser, under Structural Plans, double-click Level 3.<br />
