A comprehensive note on different ‘Actions’ that can be used by Revit users during Coordination Review

When MEP BIM Coordination Services review is performed by Revit users they have to be very specific about implementing different actions for the warnings that are displayed when alterations are made to the monitored elements of BIM models.  In other words Revit users have to be very cautious while handling every change that is applied to monitored elements. Actions taken by Revit users can make a huge difference when it comes to implementing changes in the design hence warning related to every change should be handled attentively.



For selecting an action Revit users have to click on the Action column and then select the most suitable action from the drop down menu for dealing with the change. Different actions are taken by Revit users for dealing with different warnings because of the nature of the change.

Only current project is affected if changes are made to the elements after taking an action for a warning. That means nothing changes in a linked model if an action is taken by Revit users for dealing with a change.

If Revit users select an action in the Action column described as ‘Postpone/Do nothing’ it means nothing should be done at the moment to the change made in a monitored element. By selecting is action, it means that the change will be addressed later on.

If in case Revit users select an action described as ‘Reject’ in the Action column, it stipulates that the change made by Revit users in the monitored element is absolutely wrong and hence it should not be adopted or  embraced in the design. It may also indicate that instead of making a change in the monitored element of a host model changes should be made in the monitored element of the linked model.

On the other hand Revit users should select ‘Accept the difference’ action in Action column if the change made to the monitored element absolutely correct. That means if the change made to a monitored element is productive for the design then Revit users should accept it by taking ‘Accept the difference’ action during coordination review.

In this way right actions can be taken by Revit users for effectively handling the change.

MEP systems provide the momentum to the building

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are incredibly crucial for any sort of building, be it residential, commercial or industrial.   The design for these systems is prepared by MEP modelers who have vast experience in the execution of BIM modeling services.  They develop design for MEP systems in Revit MEP software which is quintessentially dedicated to the design development of MEP systems only. MEP systems consist of HVAC systems, electrical systems and plumbing systems. Detailed explanation of these systems is following  HVAC Systems These systems comprise of heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems. HVAC systems have to be accurate since they are responsible for the circulation of various resources. The design of these systems must be created in a way that they reach to every part of the building where they supposed to reach. They are utilized in all kinds of building projects as well as non building projects such as in...

What are the benefits of developing 3D models for AEC professionals?

Design and construction professionals belonging to this period or contemporary period are much luckier than then their predecessor. Now you must be thinking why am I saying so? Well it’s pretty simple; construction professionals belonging to earlier period did not have the opportunity to utilize the kind of technology that is being used by contemporary design and construction professionals. That is why earlier building construction used to be regarded as one of the most daunting or formidable tasks. But let’s forget the bygone period and focus what we have achieved today in terms of simplifying the complications of construction process. Well, today design and construction professionals are using some of the best techniques along with effective technologies to execute construction projects which are really helpful. One such technology is Building Information Modeling and it is helps design and construction professionals to develop 3D models for different building disciplin...

A brief account on BIM’s expansion over the years

Building Information Modeling has a dramatic history when it comes to its expansion in the landscapes of AEC industry over the years. BIM which is also known as Virtual Design and Construction has a dominant presence in AEC industry because of the fact that is has the potential to realize project outcomes and can control them significantly as per requirement. In short design and construction professionals can attain superior control over project outcomes by analyzing multidiscipline models. Well, Building Information Modeling evolved as a concept some four decades ago but it was not practiced by AEC professionals in the industry at that time. For approximately ten years since it first appeared in the journal, the term ‘BIM’ used to be seen only in research papers. BIM as a technology and a process started to be implemented in construction projects some thirty years ago. So once AEC professionals started using BIM in construction they never looked back to their sluggish performanc...
