Copy/Monitor and Coordination Review
The Copy/Monitor command enables Revit to copy elements from a linked file and monitor whether these elements change.
We can use Copy/Monitor for the following Revit categories:
- Levels
- Grids
- Columns
- Wall
- Floors
- Openings
- Multiple MEP fixtures categories
The main Revit categories used with Copy/Monitor are levels and grids. The other categories are not frequently used because we expect design changes; therefore, monitoring the elements is not recommended.
Copy/Monitor has three main functions:
- Identifies mistakes when levels and grids are inappropriately changed
- Ensures better project coordination for levels and grids
- Increases productivity to create/copy levels and grids
We usually start a Revit project by creating the levels and grids, and often, this task is assigned to the design leader or project BIM lead. Once the Revit file is created with the correct coordinates, levels...
