Improve Efficiency and Accuracy
Revit
®
Structure software improves the way structural
engineers and drafters work. It minimises repetitive
modelling and drawing tasks, as well as errors due to
manual co-ordination between structural engineers,
architects and drafters. It helps reduce time spent
producing final construction drawings and increases
the accuracy of documentation, improving overall
project deliverables for clients.
I can foresee that Autodesk
Revit Structure will enable
us to oer our international
clients better value.
For example, we used the
solution to test the viability
of building a residential block
on top of an existing road
tunnel. It enabled us to
cut down analysis time to
a fraction of what it normally
would have taken – from
weeks to days.

Revit Structure software oers concurrent modelling for structural
design, analysis and fully co-ordinated documentation.
Seamless Co-ordination
Because Revit Structure uses building information
modelling (BIM), every view, drawing sheet and
schedule is a direct representation of the same
underlying database. As project team members work
on the same project, making inevitable and necessary
changes to the building structure, parametric change
technology in Revit Structure automatically co-ordinates
changes across all other representations of the
project – model views, drawing sheets, schedules,
sections, plans and details. The design and docu-
mentation stay co-ordinated, consistent and complete.
Bidirectional Associativity
The building model and all of its views are part of the
same information system. This means changes to any
part of the structure need to be made only once,
maintaining consistency throughout the documentation
sets. For example, if sheet scales change, annotations
and graphics are properly resised. If a structural
member changes, the views where this element is
displayed are co-ordinated and updated automatically,
including name tags and other labels referring to the
element properties.
Building Information Modelling
The creation and use of co-ordinated, internally
consistent, computable information about a building
project in design and construction.
We’d been watching building
information modelling for several
years but were unable to find
a structural design product that did
what we needed. When we saw the
demo of Revit Structure, we knew
that there was finally a solution.
