Copy/Monitor Parameters for Levels

Before selecting levels to copy for monitoring, specify the following parameter values on the Copy/Monitor Options dialog. See Specifying Options for Copy/Monitor and Copying Levels for Monitoring.

Offset level

Offsets the copied level vertically from the original level by a specified value.

For example, to compensate for the thickness of floor finishes that are not needed on structural levels, structural engineers can enter a negative number for the level offset. As a result, the copied levels will be located below the corresponding architectural levels.

Reuse levels with the same name

When you select this option, if the current project contains a level with the same name as a level in the linked model, a new level is not created. Instead, the existing level in the current project is moved to match the location of the level in the linked model, and monitoring is established between these levels.

Reuse matching levels

Select one of the following values:

• Don’t reuse: Creates a copy of a level, even if the current project already contains a level at the same elevation.
• Reuse if Elements match exactly: If the current project contains a level that occurs at the same elevation as a level in the linked model, the level is not copied. Instead, Revit creates a relationship between these levels in the current project and the linked model.
• Reuse if within offset: If the current project contains a level that occurs at a similar elevation as a level in the linked model (within the value of the Offset Level parameter), the level is not copied. Instead, Revit creates a relationship between these levels in the current project and the linked model.

Add suffix to level name

Enter a suffix to add to the names of copied levels.

Add prefix to level name

Enter a prefix to add to the names of copied levels.
