About the Synchronization

Explains the concept of the synchronization of parameters between LINEAR Building and Revit.

During building detection or an update, calculation-relevant information is transferred between LINEAR Building and the connected CAD program in LIN parameters. As the parameter values can be defined both on the CAD side and in LINEAR Building, it is necessary to control the direction of synchronization of the parameters.

In the Synchronization area of the configuration of LINEAR Building you can define for each parameter whether and in which direction the respective parameter should be written when the building is detected or updated. When detecting buildings from AutoCAD, you can decide whether the existing topography and specifications of the currently selected standard for the interpretation of component dimensions should be taken into account in the model.

Once you have adjusted the synchronization settings to suit your needs, you can save the configuration and thus store exactly the configurations required for different use cases. If necessary, you can also set one of the configurations you have created as the default for all relevant workstations, for example.

The settings for parameter synchronization with Excel Room Data Sheets are configured separately in the Synchronize Excel Room Data Sheet dialog.
