For example, once we link an architectural model, we'd love to have the different levels or elevations that the architect has set for each floor. In Revit we can do that, but we can go a step farther. We can actually bring those floor levels into our model. Not only that, but we can do it in such a way that if the architect moves or renames floor level, we'll get a coordination alert telling us something's up. So open up Revit. No go to project open.
