Figure 6.18
The Coordination
review dialog box
lists inconsistencies in
monitored elements.

Postpone Takes no action on the monitored element and changes the message status so that
it can be filtered out or considered later.
Reject Select this action if you believe the change made to the element in the linked file is
incorrect. A change must then be made to the element in the linked file.
Accept Difference Accepts the change made to the element and updates the relationship.
For example, if a pair of grids was 8” (200 mm) apart and one was moved to 12’ (300 mm)
away, the change would be accepted and the relationship would now consist of a dimen-
sional offset.
Modify, Rename, Move The command name changes based on the action. If the name
of the monitored element has changed, the command reads Rename. If a column or level is
moved, the command is Move. If a grid is changed or moved, the command is Modify.
Ignore New Elements A new hosted element has been added to a monitored wall or floor.
Select this action to ignore the new element in the host. It will not be monitored for changes.
Copy New Elements A new hosted element has been added to a monitored wall or floor.
Select this action to add the new element to the host and monitor it for changes.
Delete Element A monitored element has been deleted. Select this action to delete the cor-
responding element in the current project.
Copy Sketch The sketch or boundary of a monitored opening has changed. Select this action
to change the corresponding opening in the current project.
Update Extents The extents of a monitored element have changed. Select this action to
change the corresponding element in the current project.
As you can see, Coordination Review can be a powerful tool to support the collaboration
process. Remember that such a tool may not be appropriate for all elements at all times. For
example, instead of copying and monitoring columns and grids, it may be sufficient to copy and
monitor only grids because the columns placed in your host model will move with the grids
anyway.
