Introduction
In this session, you will learn how to synchronize approval statuses and comments with other disciplines working within the ConVoid Ecosystem. This will enable seamless collaboration by simply exchanging Revit models.
Video Tutorial
Requirements
As previously mentioned, this workflow is only compatible with disciplines that use ConVoid. If some project participants do not work with ConVoid, please refer to the BCF Exchange session.
Overview
Approval Synchronization
To synchronize the approval status between various Revit models containing openings, link these models to begin the process:
Go to the Exchange menu and click on the arrow below.
Click on Approval Synchronization, and a window will appear.
Select the linked model in the dropdown menu you want to synchronize with. If the selected linked model contains matching openings, ConVoid will display all identified disciplines that have provided approvals in this linked model. Ensure you import only the results from the discipline you want and never select your own discipline to avoid overwriting your existing approval status. By clicking [Import], ConVoid will automatically merge and update the Approval Status and Comments of the openings in your model.
Review Approval
To review the updated approvals of a discipline their are two ways to do so:
A red notification symbol will appear next to the Revit-ID cell in the schedule to identify the openings that have received an Approval Status update.
To get an overview of each discipline's approval status, simply select the discipline in the dropdown menu above the [Approved] button, and ConVoid will highlight the Approval Status of the discipline in their color in the schedule and the current view. After reviewing, ensure to change the discipline back to yours.
