Quality Assurance - Linked objects

2 min. readlast update: 03.14.2024

Before delivering a specialist model, follow the method below to ensure the connections are correct. This method works best with two screens.

 

  1. Start by opening both the linked model(architect model in this case) in one Revit session on one screen and the specialist model on another screen in a new Revit session.
  2. In the opened architect model, to which all requirements are linked to, use the Import from link tool to load all the parameter values from Import mapping and check that there is no warning.
    Note: Load the parameters first into the architect model if it's not already done.
  3. Use transfer project standards to copy view templates from the engineering model to the Linked model.
    Manage → Transfer project standard
    Note: Make sure it is the engineering model in the drop-down on top.
    Choose Check None and then check only View Templates.
  4. If this dialogue shows, choose New Only.
  5. Go to a floor view in the linked model and enable Temporary view properties.
    It’s found at the bottom of each view.
    Choose Temporary Apply Template Properties …
  6. Select NV_QAFireRating.
    This colours all walls, doors, windows, and curtain walls that use FireReq parameters for fire rating.


  7. Objects which does not have a colour under the required symbol. In the specialist model, select connect family and “re-connect” the symbol to the correct object.
    The recommended workflow is to finish re-connecting a floor plan at the time.
    When finished, save the specialist model.

  8. In the Linked model, reload the specialist model and import all data again. Repeat until the entire model has been coloured.
    When finished send the model to the recipient.

 

Note: It is possible to create more view templates based on view filters to ensure more parameter values such as Door magnets, 
Door openers, a requirement for re-enters, etc. 

Highly recommended to use Naviate Accelerates - Color Elements to colour the object per paramers.
