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.

1.10 Does Revit Structure support sustainable design?

Yes, in conjunction with complementary performance analysis and design software and

other Revit family BIM software, Revit Structure is an ideal platform for engineers to

make sustainable design decisions.

2.1 What are the important features in Revit Structure?

• Use of multiple structural materials: steel, precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete,

masonry, and wood; all within the same building model

• Full creation of required construction documentation

• State of the art analytical model created simultaneously and coordinated with the physical model

• Bidirectional links with multiple analysis programs

• Bidirectional associativity between the model, views, drawing sheets, details, and schedules

• Multiple design options can be maintained within the same model

• Multiple users can work on the model simultaneously

• Import and export DWG™, DXF™, DGN, IFC, SAT and CIS/2 files

• Export and import 3D intelligent building objects for structural elements native to

AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD MEP products

• Full interoperability with Revit Architecture (from interference checking to

coordination monitoring) and Revit MEP

• Smart relationships between structural members which adjust when conditions

between structural elements are modified (for example: if a column is moved, the

beams framing into that column will adjust automatically)

• Templates to generate specific structural families using the family editor

2.2 What’s new in Revit Structure 2008?

Revit Structure 2008 is compatible with Revit Architecture 2008, the latest Revit-based

architectural design and documentation system, as well as Revit MEP 2008 for

mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems engineering. New features include tools for

improved modeling and documentation (such as curved beams and openings in beams

and columns) plus the creation of parametric trusses and sloped concrete slabs. Also,

new productivity and interoperability tools are available for subscription customers.
