THE RIBBON

Analyze Tools for model analysis and systems checking are located on the Analyze tab.

There are some other tools on this tab that allow you to add color to your ductwork and pip-

ing based on deﬁ ned criteria. The Spaces & Zones panel on this tab contains the tools for

placing Space objects and Space Separator lines.

Architect Revit MEP 2011 is capable of modeling much more than just the components of an

MEP engineering system. The Architect tab contains tools that allow you to model architec-

tural components or to create conceptual mass objects. The Room & Area panel contains the

Legend button, which allows you to apply color ﬁ ll to your views based on deﬁ ned criteria.

Collaborate To keep your model coordinated with other disciplines and work in a multi-

user environment, you need tools that allow you to do so. These tools can be found on

the Collaborate tab. The Worksets panel has a drop-down for switching worksets, and the

Coordinate panel contains tools for copying and monitoring objects from linked ﬁ les.

The Coordinate panel has a new tool for locating face-hosted elements that have lost their

association to their host. You can check for clashes between model objects by using the

Interference Check tool on the Coordinate tab.

View You can use the tools available on the View tab to create views. There are also tools

for managing the views you have open in the drawing area. On the Graphics panel there are

tools for creating view templates and ﬁ lters. The Sheet Composition panel has tools for creat-

ing sheets as well as for adding matchlines or revisions. The User Interface button allows you

to toggle the visibility of key user interface features.
