Revit Structure and Revit Architecture The next time an updated architectural file is reloaded into Revit Structure, the structural engineer selects Tools >> Coordination Review >> Select Link, clicks on the linked file and views the coordination review table. The coordination review tool is an efficient method of communicating changes made by the architect and the engineer throughout the project design development. Figure 14: Modifications made by the engineer or the architect on monitored elements can be reviewed in a convenient and accurate format. The monitoring and coordination tool tracks all the changes that have occurred when a cross-linked model is reloaded or refreshed, and presents them to the engineer or architect in an orderly way for review. For example, the structural designer gets an updated version of the architectural model and is warned that the architect deleted a column enclosure that was linked to one of the engineer's structural columns. The structural designer can then choose to respond to that design change directly in the model or to flag it for further action. As mentioned earlier, the same coordination review tool is also available in Revit Architecture. Note: For those situations when the engineers and architects are sharing a single RVT file (not linked files) the coordination monitor tool is still available. They just have to select Copy/Monitor and then Coordination Review, and select their current project instead of the linked file. Figure 15: The Coordination Monitor coordinates changes within a current project and across linked files. www.autodesk.com/revitstructure 11
