Automatic Checks

Checking a model for member supports and analytical model consistency is either automatic or on demand.

To enable automatic checking

1. Select Analyze tabTools panel .

   Two unchecked options appear under Automatic Checks: Member Supports and Analytical/Physical Model Consistency.

   
   • Member Supports: Select this box to check for support functionality. Revit posts warnings for all unsupported structural elements (Structural element not supported by another structural element).
   • Analytical/Physical Model Consistency: Select this box to enable analytical model consistency. Revit checks for all inconsistencies found within the analytical model or between the analytical and physical models.
2. On the Analytical Model Settings tab of the Structural Settings dialog, select the options you want to enable.
3. Click OK.
4. Click Yes to run the Analytical Model Check immediately, or click No to run it later.

   As you add structural members to your project, Revit alerts you with detailed warnings. Review the warnings and make the appropriate changes to your design.
