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.

List of Software that simplified execution of pre-construction engineering services

Autodesk which is an American multinational firm has designed maximum numbers of software that are used in construction today. There is no doubt that execution of pre-construction engineering services  have greatly reduced on-site burden of architects and engineers. All of this became possible only after Autodesk came up with crucial software that helped technicians and modelers to generate drawings and develop models of buildings that are supposed to be constructed in future. Description of vital software is given below. AutoCAD: AutoCAD helps CAD technicians or CAD drafters to create stunning designs in a very short period of time. AutoCAD’s ribbon galleries assist technicians with an intuitive, visual and fast workflow. For example, if in case a user wants to add a block while developing designs they can make use of ribbon gallery and successfully insert a block. It has all the significant tools that are needed by designers to improve design process. Revit: Revit is ...

How to Implement BIM in Medium-Sized Companies Effectively?

BIM has emerged as a remarkable new technology for structural and architectural building designs for its implementation in medium-sized companies. Before application of Building Information Modeling for medium size companies several queries and challenges occurs regarding the technical expertise of the employees, delay in projects as a consequence of introduction of newer technology and rising costs. These kinds of query and troubles pertaining to BIM implementation may be simply fixed by carrying out basic training and efficient planning of application of BIM Services. Hence with the aid of appropriate planning and minimal preparation BIM can be effortlessly and successfully implemented into medium-sized companies without significant intervention and disturbance. • Commencing with BIM: Application of BIM Services in medium size company can be referred as Process modification phenomenon. The employees of company ought to be equally associated with the decision making process o...

BIM must be credited for the metamorphosis of AEC industry!

The metamorphosis of conventional construction methods into innovative methods must be largely credited to BIM technology. Building Information Modeling is a highly productive technology for AEC professionals since it has huge magnitude and potential to handle all types of complications associated to construction projects.  Initially when BIM technology was not prevalent in the landscapes of Architecture Engineering and Construction industry, accomplishment of construction projects was challenging or demanding task for AEC professionals.  During that time architects and engineers used to perform most the construction related activities directly at the proposed location and hence they used to meet a lot of design problems at the time of final construction. And because of this AEC professionals used to face a large amount of rework situations which largely used to increase the project cost.   Rework is not only accountable for increasing project cost but it also resul...
