we have a BIM360 project that has been "completed" for all intents and purposes. Now, due to VE efforts, each floor on the building is being shortened to save money on steel and glass. The linked structural and architectural models have new levels coming through, but our copied levels in the MEP model are the old levels.
how to I update the levels in the MEP model? I have started to copy in the new levels, but I started getting errors about needing to delete objects and I didn't want to risks losing content. Please help.
So I went to the section and tried align our copied levels to the Structural levels and it would not let me move them unless I was willing to delete certain conten, it this normal?
We are currently moving elements that we do not wish to be deleted to within the range of the new level top and bottom ranges prior to adjusting to new levels
I've been continuing to grapple with the issues of reconciling the new levels with the old ones. Here the the present issue I'm having to overcome. when I open the model form BIM360, I have the option to copy fixture positions-in this case update-from the linked model. I try to do that each time, but it fails to do so, therefore I have the following problem. I have the linked models plumbign fixtures copy/monitored in and their location is not updating to the new elevations in the hosted elements. I have attached an image to illustrate the problem; please see. What can I do to get these to update? They are smart fixtures with connections on them, so my piping is connected in with the copied fixtures in the host model.
If the automation isn't working, you probably have to adjust them yourself. I actually prefer this method as the automation often breaks the systems and requires adjustment afterwards. Doing them manually helps me make sure that I don't miss anything.
