Copy/Monitor without Copy?

I made an architectural model then copied this file and stripped it for all but structural elements, for a structural model. Now can I set up monitoring between these models without actually doing copy, since the elements are already there? What are the correct steps to do this?

It doesn't work that way. The elements between the two files have zero relationship unless you copy them using copy/monitor.

So what are my options for making linked models from this outset..?

Why did you split one model into two in the first place?

I have requirements to have separate structural and architectural models (separate Revit files). And the structural shall be linked into the architectural model. I wasn't aware exactly what that linking technically entailed, so I started out with the architectural model and completed it. Now I have two finished models. One being mostly a stripped copy of the other, with minor modifications and different views and drawings.

Go to Copy/Monitor and select Monitor, lets you pair elements up.

Here is how I would do given you already made two files:

 

- Open Architectural file, create a Link_Structural workset

- Link Structural file in as Overlay, origin to origin, change it to the workset above

- Go over the model and delete Architectural elements overlapping Structural elements

- Go back to Structural file and do the first two steps (with different workset naming of course)

- Most of the time that is all you need.  Update one model will reflect on the other when you reload the link

 

- You can choose to Monitor the link but IMHO it's unnecessary.

- Some people choose to copy/monitor element from one model to another.  I would only copy/monitor Levels and Grids, not actual building elements.
