Introduction to Coordinating with Architectural Model

00:00

SIMON JONES: Co-authoring a structural model

00:02

in Revit by coordinating with other disciplines.

00:06

In this challenge we should be initiating a structural design

00:10

of a building, based on existing architectural and mechanical

00:14

services designs.

00:16

First, we're going to start a new project,

00:19

based on a project template file.

00:21

And we will link in the architectural model

00:23

and require its coordinate system.

00:26

Then link in the mechanical services

00:28

aligned with the same coordinate system.

00:32

Next, we shall copy monitor levels and grids

00:35

from the architectural model, so that we

00:38

can work of the same references that the architect is using.

00:42

Finally, we shall set up some elevation views, as well as

00:46

a 3D view that will help us explore the current building

00:50

and mechanical services design, that we

00:52

need to coordinate with.
