Workflow
Important Updates to This Workflow
- Use the new Imperial Multi-discipline project template to create your linked model.
- It includes pre-defined views for each discipline as well as coordination views.
- The template no longer includes the analytical model view. We’ll set that up later.
- Save your new discipline model as a Revit Cloud Model in order to link to other Revit Cloud Models (saved in your project in Forma Data Management).
- If you save your discipline model as a Revit Cloud Model in your Forma project, the Import/Link RVT dialog will open to your Forma project, where you can select other models stored there.
- If not, the External Resources > Cloud Models location will not appear, and you won’t be able to link to Cloud Models.
- Choose the Auto - Project Base Point to Project Base Point positioning option in the Import/Link RVT dialog.
- This will align your models in Revit, and the models will share the same Project Base Point (the XYZ origin for each model).
- Use Manage > Project Location > Acquire Coordinates to copy the geolocation from your linked model.
- This will align your model to the same latitude, longitude, and rotation on the globe. This shared Survey Point will accurately position the models for Model Coordination.
