LF5038 Class Summary

Location can become a big issue in an AutodeskRevitproject.

How do we collaborate between multiple offices?

How do we exchange data, coordinate building position, link modelschaos away when everyone is working in multiple companies, locatioand units?

We will look at lessons learned, and the management tools and techsettle issues of model linking, central file sharing, shared coordinate Server, and model content.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this class, you will be able to:

List the capabilities of Revit Server andAutodesk Project Bluestreak Mobile to aid withinter-company communication

Plan model contributions for multiple offices tocollaborate successfully on a multi-firm project

Explain how the shared locations and other file

formats are affected by the use of Revit Server

Describe how Revit Server can function withina multi-location company to help share models

Location 4 (Where is the Building?)Locating model data relative to othermodel data when involving multiplesoftware/file formats, coordinatespaces, units, and size/flatnesslimitations can be very tricky!

Project Location - Implications


44/55

44

Revit still has usable coordinate spaceissues

Shared parameters are oftenmisunderstood, easy to mess up, andcan create domino-effect problems inmany linked files.

Many file types dont support shared

coordinates at all. Multi-unit dimensions arent available

in all applications.

Project Locations - Tradeoffs


45/55

Visible topography in Revit for verylarge sites will require significant file

translation. Updates are difficult.

that everyone will acquire coordinates

from. Determine file types early so you can
