Interference Check Tips
■ Processing time for interference checks can vary greatly. In a large model, checking all categories against
each other can take a long time and is
not recommended . To reduce processing time, select a limited set
of elements or a limited number of categories.
■
To run a check on all available categories, click All in the Interference Check dialog, and then select one
of the check boxes next to a category.
■ Click None to clear the selection of any categories.
■ Click Invert to change the selection between categories that are currently selected and those that are not.
Shared Positioning
A Revit Architecture project has internal coordinates for all the elements that compose the model in a project.
Those coordinates are known to this project only. This is acceptable if you have a standalone model whose
position is not relevant to other models or to a site. However, if you want the position of the model to be
known to other linked models, you need to share coordinates.
Shared coordinates are used for remembering the mutual positions of multiple interlinked files. Those
interlinked files can be all Revit files, or a combination of Revit, DWG, and DXF files.
Recommended Uses for Shared Positioning
If the significant coordinates for a project are in a linked model, such as a building model with a linked site,
acquire the coordinates from the linked model.
If the significant coordinates for a project are in the host model, such as a site with linked building models,
publish coordinates from the host to the linked models.
TIP You should derive shared coordinates from only one file. That one file defines the coordinates for all other
files that compose the project. Acquire coordinates from one file and then publish those coordinates to other files.
Defining Named Locations
Revit Architecture projects can have named locations. A named location is the position of a model instance
in a Revit Architecture project. By default, each Revit Architecture project contains at least one named
location, called Internal.
If your Revit Architecture project contains a unique structure or a site model, it typically has only one named
location.
If your Revit Architecture project contains several identical buildings, it will have many locations in it.
You want may want several locations of a building to create a campus look. For example:
■
Several identical dormitory buildings on the same site
■ Identical condominiums on the same site
