- [Instructor] The steps for a traditional
architecture coordination meeting
are to gather all the information you're going to need
to make decisions and then bring all the different
people together to make those decisions,
record the decisions made, and then everybody
goes back to their own offices
to make the changes from the decisions that you made.
Then of course come back later to make sure
that everyone has done their jobs.
With Unity and Reflect here, we can actually bring
these pieces together so that we can make
the decisions and make the changes
live on the spot.
In order to do this we're going to be bringing
multiple Revit projects together
in a single Reflect project.
First, you can see that we still have
the architecture model connected to Reflect here.
So we're going to open another instance of Revit
while we're having both of these Revit instances
running on the same computer, you can do the same thing
with them running on different computers.
In this instance of Revit we're going to open
the Madison Mechanical model.
These two models share a coordinate system
so that they'll be lined up when they come together.
That's common practice with design consultants
so this shouldn't be an issue.
So we'll make sure that we have a 3D view
that's exactly what we want to see in Unity.
Then go to the Unity tab and export view.
We'll stick with our local sync server
and then we're going to have the same project
as the other view from the other Revit project
and go ahead and export.
If we want it to be live linked,
which in this case we do,
then we'll click start
and now any changes that we make in Revit
will be automatically updated to the Reflect sync server.
Now let's hop over to Unity and see these changes.
We'll go under our Reflect projects
and see Reflect course and click update.
Now, if you go to our Reflect course folder,
we'll see that we have this Madison Mechanical
under the folder and I'll drag that into the scene.
Now you can take a look and see that we have
some rooftop mechanical systems
and if we go into our building
we have this duct work that is lined up
with the rest of the building.
Next we're going to start adding more functionality
that can work with the metadata of both
of these Revit projects simultaneously.
