Revit Structure & AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite Questions & Answers

Questions & Answers

Revit

Structure software uses a single intelligent model to

coordinate all the tasks structural engineers and drafters

need to complete during the building design process — from

preliminary and schematic design, to structural design and

analysis, to final construction documentation.

With Revit Structure, production of structural documentation

is dramatically accelerated: every drawing sheet, every 2D

and 3D view, every detail, and every schedule is a direct

presentation of information from the same underlying building

database.

Revit Structure

includes many features

to help you work more

efficiently, improve

accuracy and increase

design flexibility.

Revit Structure & AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite Questions & Answers analyses. In another case, structural engineers can build the physical model themselves, then continue the analysis process while the drafters complete the construction documents. Revit Structure simplifies the creation of structural drawings by automatically generating drawings and schedules directly from the physical model. This enables the drafters to focus on detail views, annotations, and other details required for construction. 1.

Revit Structure & AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite 3.5 Questions & Answers How does Revit Structure work with Revit MEP? Structural engineers who are working with MEP engineers using Revit MEP can take full advantage of building information modeling to share the same underlying building database. Similar to the coordination between Revit Structure and Revit Architecture, interference checking is available in all Revit-based applications for better coordination.

Revit Structure & AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite Questions & Answers Schedules are created using the same principle. They are simply another type of view. So they are also live and update dynamically as you change the model. In fact, you can change things in the schedule and Revit Structure updates the model and drawings. 5 Licensing Revit Structure 5.
