Revit Tip: Central Files CREATING A CENTRAL FILE 1. Create a New File - On the opening screen choose the template to use o Select “Mechanical” if you are working on MEP Save as project name. No changes can be made to this file after it has been synchronized, Revit will think this is a new local file). It is good practice to have a project name in mind before hand. I.e. put a –MEP at the end of the file name. 2. Linking in the Revit Model. - Go to an elevation view (south works well). o Delete all levels associated with the template. It will prompt you that it will delete all views in the file associated with the levels, click OK - INSERT TAB o Link Revit Select desired revit model to be linked in. • If you select the revit model to link in and select ok without selecting AUTO origin to origin it will default use AUTO center to center and things will not work well when we send the revit model to the ARCHITECT. Just undo or remove the linked model and try again. - Pin the Revit model at this time. o Select the revit model and select the pin. o This locks the model in place so that it cannot be accidentally moved. 3. Copy Monitor Levels - COLLABORATE TAB o Select Copy Monitor and select the link Select Copy, check the multiple tab and select the levels you wish to copy/monitor Select the finish tab, note a heartbeat symbol should appear Select the finish tab. 4. Save the project 5. Enabling Worksets - COLLABARATE TAB o Select WORKSETS o Name worksets (i.e. HVAC, PLUMBING, LIGHTING, POWER, etc.) Note that worksets can be added at any time Do not delete workset1; it is the template for creating other worksets. Shared levels and grids can be deleted but not recommended. 6. Synchronize - COLLABORATE TAB o Synchronize with Central Select the Synchronize with Central & Modify Settings (not synchronize now). This will allow all of the worksets created to be used by other people. Check the user created worksets (this allows people to use the worksets created earlier). The central file is now created. Any work done from this point on should be done via a local file.
