In this lesson you will learn how to link your Revit Structure Project to a three-dimensional drawing created in Revit Architecture and use it as a background. You will also learn how to use the Copy Monitor feature of Revit Structure to provide project coordination between architects and structural engineers. After they are copied all Grids and Levels are monitored for any changes made against the original file during the design review process. Let's open a new project. Click the Menu Browser and select New, Project. Then click Browse, select the Structural Analysis Default file, click Open and in the New Project dialog click OK. Now let's link a Revit Architecture file. Click the Insert Tab and on the Link Panel click Link Revit. Browse to the Training Files, Imperial folder and select the file Technical School-current and for Positioning select Auto, Origin to Origin and click Open. Then right-click in the Drawing Area and select Zoom to Fit. Click the linked file and on the Modify Panel click Pin. A pinned drawing cannot be moved within Revit Structure Drawing Area. Let's set up Copy Monitor Options. Click the Collaborate Tab and on the Coordinate Panel click the Copy Monitor drop-down and select Select Link, then click the imported Revit drawing. Then on the Copy Monitor contextual tab on the Tools Panel click Options. Elements available for monitoring are separated into five categories: Levels, Grids, Columns, Walls and Floors. On each Tab the Original Type column lists the type for the Revit Architecture file and the New Type column lists the corresponding element available in the Template selected. Each Tab provides various parameters that you can set for that specific element. Also, you can exclude Element Types that you do not want to copy. Click OK and let's copy Grids. On the Tools Panel click Copy. Then on the Options bar select Multiple, then while pressing Ctrl, select each Grid on the Revit Architecture file. After selecting all Grids, on the Options bar click Finish. On the Duplicate Types dialog click OK. Then close the Revit warning that displays which indicates that loaded type has been renamed. The Copy Monitor symbols indicate a relationship with the original element. Next, let's copy levels. In the Project Browser under Elevations, Building Elevation, double-click East to open that view. Then from the Tools Panel click Copy and on the Options bar click Multiple and while pressing Ctrl select each level on the Revit Architecture file. Then on the Options bar click Finish. On the Duplicate Types dialog, click OK and on the Revit warning that displays click Close. Again notice the Copy Monitor symbol that displays indicating a relationship with the original element. On the Copy Monitor Panel click Finish. Let's create new Structural Views. Click the View Tab and on the Create Tab click the Plan Views drop-down and select Structural Plan. In the New Plan dialog under Floor Plan Views with 01 - Entry Level selected while pressing Shift select Roof, then click OK. Notice that the New Structural Views display in the Project Browser. Let's delete the Default Levels. Open the East Elevation View and zoom in to the center of the view. Then select Level 1 and press Ctrl and select Level 2. Then on the Modify Panel click Delete, then on the warning message click OK. Zoom to Fit and close the file without saving it, as that concludes this lesson.
