conflict with imported model

[TomasoCardia]

Hi all, 

I'm tryng to built an Architectural Model (with his Architectural levels) with an Imported Engineering model (with his Engineering levels). 

The Issue is that I need that the walls "see" as a solid limit the Engeering model to end at the bottom of the engineering floor. 

How Can I  do this? How Can I "anchor" the top of the wall to the bottom of Eng. Floor and to his future modifications?

You could copy-monitor the structural floors in and attach the walls to them, then hide them or put them in a separate workset and close the workset.

Doesn't appear to me that you have control over the wall's height in the current project -- meaning that the element highlighted in your screenshot has no grips or temporary dimensions associated to it.   Where is it coming from?

Hello,

It seems as though you would need to make sure your levels correspond with the levels in the engineering model. 

You can either adjust your levels manually or import the levels from the engineering model using BIM methods.

I hope that this helps.

What "BIM methods" are you referring to?  Are you suggesting that there is a BIM method where Architect changes his/her levels to line up with the Engineer's levels?  I can't wrap my brain around that workflow.  Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

Hello,

When you first began working on this project with the engineers, did you establish and share a common building grid and levels file?

This BIM method would have allowed for accurate linking of models and shared coordinates.

Kind Regards
