Hi Folks,

I have a task. I am working on models for a project and the architect who is working with us, created the same elements of "walls, beams and columns" in the same locations on his side but with different sizes. Is there any add-ins to indicate the differences of sizes between our model "structural" and architectural model.

Thank,

This tool is part of the Autodesk Navisworks suite and can be used to review clashes between architecture and MEP models. It may also help in identifying mismatches between structural and architectural models. If you’re working within a Revit-Revit workflow, this function allows you to track the equality of elements like walls, beams, and columns between architectural and structural models. For comparing two versions of a model and tracking changes, BIM 360 offers options to stay on top of your project updates. This software provides rulesets that can help identify problems between architectural and structural models, ensuring they align correctly.

To identify size differences between structural and architectural models, you can use tools like Navisworks Manage for clash detection and model comparison, Solibri Model Checker for advanced discrepancy checking, or Revit add-ins like "Model Compare." These tools help highlight and manage differences in element sizes and locations between the models.

You might try a model compare/worksharing tool to flag element size mismatches—Navisworks Clash Detective, BIMcollab, or Revit’s built-in Interference Check can help. Also consider parameter-based filters to highlight differing dimensions by category.

Clashes aren’t just about location anymore, they’re about intent. When geometry overlaps but sizes don’t match, it’s a coordination gap, not just a modeling issue.
