If it is not possible to transition a design team member, then the person who will be doing the major CA on the project should be included in this meeting, to get a debrief on the project itself to help them moving forward. It’s best to try and keep at least one design team member on the CA phase of the project and it is critical that this person be involved in the following steps. When the documents are completed for a project, a transition from Design to CA occurs. After every submission to the client (SD, DD, CD)Īlong with archiving at these major milestones, you should also make an archive before you do something major to the model:.Models should be archived using eTransmit at each of the following: Archive at Major MilestonesĪ project should be archived manually at major milestones, to provide a snapshot in time. Below are some suggestions of when to archive. Your firm should have a set procedure on how to properly archive materials at key points in the life of a project. It is very important to keep a record of deliverables and elements created at milestones. All fully specified (absolute) paths of dependent files are converted to relative paths or 'no path' to ensure that the dependent files can be located by the model.In this final installment of the Model Manager Series, we will talk about the tasks associated with project milestones.

With eTransmit for Autodesk Revit 2015, dependent files can be included automatically in the transmittal folder, reducing the possibility of error. In some cases, not including these files can make the model unusable by the recipient.

Include only the views that are placed on sheets.Ī common problem when sending Revit models to someone is neglecting to include dependent files.

Delete sheets, and specific view types so that the models do not contain unnecessary data.

Remove unused families, materials, and other objects from the Revit models to reduce file size.

Upgrade the Revit (.rvt) model and linked models to the current release.

Include supporting files such as documents or spreadsheets.

(See File Types Not Included When Transmitting a Model.)

Include related dependent files such as linked models and DWF markups.Note: Revit Release 2011 and earlier files can be transmitted, but they cannot be upgraded and will not be checked for additional linked files.
