Workflow: Fixtures

The following workflow describes a typical process to copy fixtures from an architectural model to an MEP model to support collaboration between teams.

To copy fixtures from an architectural model

1. Follow the Workflow: Copy/Monitor for Linked Models, linking an architectural model to an MEP model and copying levels, grids, and other elements, as appropriate.
   Note: Before copying fixtures from an architectural model, copy its levels.
2. In the MEP project, specify coordination settings for copying fixtures.
3. For each linked model in the MEP project, copy fixtures for monitoring.

If any copied fixtures are moved or changed in the architectural model or if new fixtures are added, the mechanical engineers are notified of the changes when they open the MEP model or reload the architectural model. These warnings also display in a coordination review.
