Locate New or Uncopied Fixtures

When you are using the Copy/Monitor tool to monitor MEP fixtures, Revit can copy fixtures into an MEP model automatically.

Both of the following conditions must be true:

  1. Allow batch copy: The MEP 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 model, and either of the following is true:
    • It contains fixtures that have not yet been copied for monitoring.
    • It contains fixtures that did not exist when fixtures were last copied to the model.

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

When Revit 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 copies the new fixtures from the linked model to the current model.
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 model click Cancel.
