Process of monitoring elements of a linked model
in Revit

• It is really an advantage that Revit users dont
  always have to copy the elements of a linked
  model in a current project for monitoring them.
  In other words design development team members
  can conveniently establish a monitoring
  relationship between the elements of a linked
  model and a host model without even copying the
  elements of a linked model in the host model.
• For continently monitoring elements Revit users
  can also establish a relationship between
  corresponding elements. A pair of corresponding
  elements is chosen by users for establishing
  relationship, such as relationship can be
  established between the grid line in the host
  project and the grid line the linked project. We
  cannot establish monitoring relationship between
  unlike pairs.

Process of monitoring elements in a linked model

• For monitoring the elements of a linked model,
  Revit users first have to open project in Revit.
• Once a project is opened in Revit, users are
  required to create a view.
• For doing so Revit users are required to open a
  view wherein they can view the elements for
  monitoring.

• Revit users are suggested to select View
  properties by clicking on Graphics panel which
  resides within View tab.
• After that they are suggested to select
  Coordination for discipline in the Properties
  dialog.
• By selecting coordination Revit users ensure that
  elements belonging to different disciplines can
  be displayed in the view that they have created.
• Now Revit users should link a model in the host
  model.

• Now users are suggested to perform an important
  step that is to pin the linked model. The reason
  behind doing so is that the linked model stay
  intact in its place, it cannot be moved by
  mistake.
• User should also make it sure that the linked
  model displays in halftone so that elements of
  both host model and linked model can be
  distinguished.
• In the next step users are suggested to click
  Collaborates tab and then select Coordinate
  panel. After selecting Coordinate panel users
  are now required to select Copy/Monitor
  drop-down after which they should chose Select
  Link.

• Now comes the time of selecting a linked model in
  drawings area.
• After selecting a linked model in the drawing
  users are required to select an element from the
  host project and then select a similar
  corresponding element in the linked model.
• Once all the relevant pairs have been selected by
  users they can select Finish.
• Now even if one of the selected elements in the
  pair is implemented with any sort of changes
  Revit displays a warning saying that a change has
  been made to a monitored element.
