In-Depth Information
It is not necessary to monitor all levels because your consultant's file
may contain levels for use as coordination points rather than for view
creation. Only monitor levels for which you need to create views or to
which you need to associate your model components, as shown in
Figure 4.19
Using Copy/Monitor for levels
When you use the Copy button in the Copy/Monitor function, the
copied element will automatically monitor the object from which it was
copied, so there is no need to repeat the monitor process after copying
an item.
9. After you have finished coordinating your levels to the levels within the
linked file, click the Finish button on the Copy/Monitor tab. You can
now create views for any additional levels you may have added.
You also have the ability to copy/monitor certain MEP elements within
a linked file. Clicking the Coordination Settings button on the Coordinate
panel of the Collaborate tab opens the dialog box for establishing how MEP
elements will be copied from a linked file into your project.
Figure 4.20
shows the dialog box. These settings are specific to the current project.
