Locating New or Uncopied Fixtures

Revit MEP automatically copies fixtures into an MEP project when the following conditions are true:

  1. Allow batch copy: The MEP default coordination settings (for new or existing links) for the fixture categories are defined as Allow batch copy. For new links, this value is the default for all fixture categories.
  2. A model is linked or reloaded into the MEP project, and it contains fixtures that
    • have not yet been copied for monitoring, or
    • did not exist when fixtures were last copied to the project.

If you do not want Revit MEP to locate uncopied fixtures when a linked model is loaded, change settings to ignore fixture categories or types. See Ignoring Fixtures.

When Revit MEP locates uncopied fixtures a linked model, it displays the Fixtures Found dialog. Do one of the following:

If you want... Then...
To copy new fixtures using existing type mapping settings click Copy the fixtures. Revit MEP copies the new fixtures from the linked model to the current project.
To check or change type mapping settings before copying fixtures click Specify type mapping behavior and copy fixtures. The Coordination Settings dialog displays, where you can view and change settings. When finished, click Copy to copy the new fixtures.
No new fixtures to be copied to the MEP project click Cancel.
