Revit Structure and Revit Architecture Interference Checking Structural engineers using Revit Structure and architects using Revit Architecture can perform interference checks between architectural and structural objects (or just between structural objects, or between any model objects). Interference checks can be performed on elements within the same file - common shared RVT file between architects and engineers - or between the current structural file and a linked Revit Architecture file. For example, if the structural engineer wants to ensure that no structural column is falling into a stair, or no bracing is crossing a window opening, he links an architectural RVT file within Revit Structure, selects Tools >> Interference Check >> Run, then chooses the object categories from the Revit Architecture file and the current structural project.
