Revit
is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) tool, which can be used by more than one person working on a new project. This is an important feature in collaboration within a project, between projects, and with other users, firms, and disciplines.
The objective of the
2023: Collaboration Tools
guide is to enable users who have a basic knowledge of Autodesk Revit to increase their productivity while working with other people on a team, either in the same firm or other firms as well as with other disciplines. It also covers linking Autodesk Revit files and linking or importing other CAD files. Practices are available for each of the primary disciplines covered by Autodesk Revit: architecture, MEP, and structure.
Topics Covered
Set up project phasing
Use groups
Create and display a variety of design options
Link Autodesk Revit files
Use multi-discipline coordination, including Copy/Monitor and Coordination Review
Import and export CAD and raster files, including exporting Revit models for energy analysis
Understand, use, and set up worksharing in a server-based environment
