Model Check: Track Revit Model Issues with Your Team

By

ZetaBIM Docs

Checking a model usually means screenshots, an Excel list and many emails. Model Check brings the Revit model check into Revit itself: capture the problem, draw on it, assign it, and follow it until it is fixed and verified.

Why run your Revit model check this way

  • Everything in one place. Issues, images and elements stay linked to the model.
  • One click to the problem. Zoom to element takes you straight to it.
  • Clear status. Each issue is Open, Fixed or Verified, with who fixed and who checked it.
  • No server. Use a shared team folder, or a Google Sheet if you also want to follow issues in a browser.

Set up the team (once per project)

  1. Click Model Check on the Zeta BIM tab. A dockable panel opens.

  2. Open Connection and choose where the team keeps its issues:

    • Team folder (recommended): a network drive or a synced OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive or Dropbox folder. Everyone chooses the same folder.
    • Google Sheet: the team leader copies the template sheet and publishes it, then sends the team link.

  3. Enter your name, which is shown on issues, and click Connect.

  • The leader or checker ticks Verified after a second check.

  • Filter by status or person, search by ID, note or element, and keep This project only on.
