Interference Checking
Structural engineers using Revit Structure and architects using Revit Architecture can
perform interference checks between architectural and structural objects (or just between
structural objects, or between any model objects).
Interference checks can be performed on elements within the same file - common shared
RVT file between architects and engineers - or between the current structural file and a
linked Revit Architecture file.
For example, if the structural engineer wants to ensure that no structural column is falling
into a stair, or no bracing is crossing a window opening, he links an architectural RVT file
within Revit Structure, selects Tools >> Interference Check >> Run, then chooses the
object categories from the Revit Architecture file and the current structural project.

can be performed
between structural and
architectural objects.
