Model Coordination - Import Views with Detail Items from Linked Model to Host Model

Hello,

 

I am an architect and I need to import information from my engineer's structural Revit model into my arch. model for construction drawing coordination and production. We have each Revit model linked into the other for coordination already, mine into his and his into mine.  Specifically, the engineer has drawn 20+ section drawings in his Revit model and I hope to avoid having to redraw in my model what the engineer has already drawn in his. Ideally I could copy the engineer's entire section drawings with detailing into my Revit model so that I can add further detail and arch-specific notes. At a minimum, I hope to import his detail items directly into my section drawings of a similar area. Without a solution, I will need to redraw these 20+ drawings!

 

It seems like the exchange of views with detailing would be commonly needed for coordination, but it has been tough to figure out thus far. Perhaps there is a simple method I am missing.

 

Thanks so much!

Hello @Anonymous 

I hope you are doing well

First let me tell you have been working with smart object that can be appear in you model i am talking about elements and Information but you talked about View-Specific Section that can't saved as view because it has contain a Model element so it can't been save as Model element if it was a Typical Detail you can go throw take this view and made what ever u need on it, But with model it cannot happen, the way you will go throw to take section in your model to show the structure elements related to the Finishes you have created the smart way it that you have the accurate model and Dimension coordinated with Structure Department, this is the Simplest way you can do with your case.

Best Regards,,

There are two issues at stake here In my opinion:

 

1. using detail views to coordinate between disciplines and,

2. Preparing detail  views for construction documentation.

 

For coordination purposes, I would recommend linking the engineer’s detail view as a drawing base so as to not require updating the copied elements when revisions occur. You set up a similar view type in your model and set the Revit link view parameter to the corresponding structural view.

 

Revit help: Display a Linked Model by Linked View


You can continue to use this view for documentation purposes so long as the engineer keeps up or agrees to revise his details as required for both your purposes. As you won’t want to duplicate his annotations and symbols, you can set the linked view parameter to not display specific families such as dimensions, tags, text, etc, thereby adding your own.

 

Not a simple method, but the complexity is in the set up as opposed to imposing a specific workflow each time coordination is required.

 

Hope this helps,

P.S. This will not work with drafting views which are purely 2D and cannot be linked.

It sounds like Worksharing -- not Linking -- would have been the better approach.  FWIW.

Yes, a workshare would be preferred over a linked model at this point, but
we had chosen not to take that route initially due to legal issues. A
follow-up question would be: Since we are in a linked model situation, can
linked models be easily merged into a workshare and/or is there a way to
solve my initial questions? Just trying to avoid redrawing! Thanks!
