A brief note on the correct application of
Copy/Monitor tool that is contained in Revit
3

• Copy/Monitor tool which is incorporated in Revit
  is largely used by BIM modelers during design
  coordination wherein in all the important design
  stakeholders such as architects, structural
  engineers and MEP engineers integrate on a
  building project.
• In other words when interdisciplinary design
  teams (architectural, structural and MEP design
  teams) cooperate on a building project and share
  vital design information among each other, they
  optimize Copy/Monitor tool for monitoring design
  elements and for communication changes. They have
  to use Coordination Revit tool when they review
  warning about the changes made to monitored
  elements.

Correct application of Copy/Monitor tool in Revit

• So far it is clear that Cop/Monitor tool is used
  for monitoring elements or imperative part of the
  design when interdisciplinary models are linked
  together.
• It helps in coordinating the changes to different
  disciplines that have been made by BIM modelers
  in building design.
• When modelers working on Revit link another Revit
  model in their project monitoring elements of
  both linked and host model becomes somewhat
  complicated and require the application of
  correct tools.

• So for example architectural model is linked in a
  structural project then different tools are used
  for copying and monitoring the elements of
  structural model and architectural model.
• These tools can be accessed by Revit users after
  clicking on the Copy/Monitor tool which
  ultimately leads to the appearance of a drop down
  menu which incorporates Current Project tool
  and Select Link tool.
• That means when interdisciplinary models are
  linked in Revit then for copying and monitoring
  the elements of host project and linked project
  Revit users have to make use of different tools.

• For copying and monitoring the elements of a host
  projects, Revit users have to click on the
  Copy/Monitor tool after which they have to use
  Current Project tool from the drop down menu.
• That means for monitoring the elements of the
  host project they have to use Current Project
  tool.
• On the other hand for copying and monitoring the
  elements of a linked project they can use Select
  Project tool from the drop down menu.
• In this way design can be monitored effectively
  by Revit users during interdisciplinary design
  coordination.
