ENERCALC for Revit provides an automated monitoring and warning framework to keep users informed of various changes in the Revit model which may jeopardize the accuracy of calculations previously completed. When monitoring is enabled, any change sufficient to cause discrepancy between the Revit-modeled condition of an element and the last ENERCALC SEL calculation used to design it results in a warning on the element. Any element placed in a warning state by one of these changes will automatically have its calculation results erased. This includes the removal of unity check information, PDF reports, and “Load-Linked” reaction forces. Because of the chain reaction effect that “Load-Linking” creates, changes to one member can result in warnings on many members, if they are “downstream” of the change with respect to load path. Monitoring settings are managed from Preferences > Current Session > Monitoring. Since these settings are found under “Current Session”, they are unique to the current instance of Revit on the user’s local machine and will not influence other users. ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-9ec6ad2930c051ae9d4112773439986d525efd61%2Fclip0484.png?alt=media) The three basic modes for monitoring are “Real-time”, “Passive”, and “No Monitoring”. The default setting is “Real-time” with all checkboxes activated. This means that a visible warning is produced for a change of any type listed in the menu. Within “Real-time” mode, these checkboxes may be selectively deactivated if the user does not wish to be interrupted for warnings about specific types of change in the Revit model. The default setting is to provide only a single warning for any given element in order to limit interruptions. Specific types of Revit model changes and the resulting warnings are discussed in the following sections. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.enercalc.com/efr-user-manual/calculation-types/working-with-beam-calculations/monitoring-and-change-warnings.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
