Import Mappings

Before sending the information to objects in other models, all models must have the same parameters in all models. Read more about how to send the parameters to the other stakeholders.

Define which data the stakeholders are allowed to import, which is controlled via Import mappings and can change between each delivery.

1. Add parameters to deliver to another stakeholder's Revit model. 
   All symbols that have been connected via Wall Requirement, Opening Requirement, or Family Connection can be sent to the linked models.
   
2. There are two drop-downs for assigning parameters, and a schedule which shows which parameters are included in the package.
   
   
   
   1. From Category:
      • Audio Visual Devices
      • Ceiling
      • Communication Devices
      • Electrical Equipment
      • Fire Alarm Device
      • Fire Protection
      • Floors
      • Generic Model
      • Mechanical Equipment
      • Roofs
      • Security Devices
      • Speciality Equipment
      • Space
      • Zone
   2. Target Parameters: All parameters in the drop-down menu are all parameters from instances placed in the model.

3. Here is a list with a few pointers with the different requirements from the included templates.
    
   Categories sent from → to.
    
   Fire Protection = Used for Door, Window, and Wall fire rating requirements.
    
   Security Devices = Usually door requirement, e.g. Door fitting, type of lock, door magnets, etc.
    
   Fire Alarm Device = Used for emergency strategy, such as min clear width, door automation.
    
   Space = Rooms

4. All parameters in the drop-down menu for Target Parameter, are all parameters from instances placed in the model.
   Use the + or trashcan to add/remove parameter values to be sent to the architect.
   Choose Door / Window if there are a FireReq_FireRatingDoor & FireReq_FireRatingWindow connected to one instance.
   It is possible to remove parameters at any moment. The data will not be transferred after giving full control to the Engineer when to transfer data.

Note: If there are several symbols connected to an instance in the linked model, make sure that only one symbol has each parameter. 
The tool will during import push all values from all parameters, so if two symbols have the same parameter the tool does not know which parameter should be imported.
 
 
Note: Before sending the model to the other stakeholders for import, try our QA workflow. This is part of the quality assurance workflow that should be in place for each project.
