Introduction to Autodesk Revit Structure • A powerful software for structural engineering that provides purpose-built
tools for structural design, engineering, and analysis
• Is a design and documentation platform that enables you to use a single,
integrated building information model that combines a physical
representation of a building associated with an analytical representation
• Its integrated parametric modeling technology is used to create the
information model of a project and to collect and coordinate information
across all its representations
Autodesk Revit Structure As A Building Information
Modeler
• An alternative approach to building design, construction and management
• A building design and documentation platform

Basic Concepts And Principles
• Envisage and develop a structural model with actual 3D parametric
building elements
• Provides a new approach to the structural design and the implementation
process
• 2D CAD platforms mostly use lines to represent all elements, Figures 1 and 2.

Understanding the Parametric Building Modeling Technology
• A project in Autodesk Revit Structure is created using the inbuilt parametric
building elements
• A building information model is created using different interdependent
parametric building elements such as structural walls, beams, columns,
structural floors, foundations, and so on
Terms used in Autodesk Revit Structure
(a) Project, (b) level, (c) category, (d) family, (e) type, and (f) instance
• Figure 3 shows the hierarchy of categories and families in a typical Autodesk
Revit Structure project

Creating a Structural Model Using Parametric Building Elements
• Uses five classes of element: host, component, annotation, view, and
datum
• Flexibility of generating the building geometry based on the project
requirement, design complexity, and other factors
• Building section with various building elements, Figure 4

Visibility/Graphics Overrides, Scale, and Detail Level
• Enables you to control the display and graphic representation of a single
element
• Setting the scale for each project view by selecting it from the available
list of standard
Extracting the Project Information
• Used to create and represent a building project
• Extract project information from a building model
• Create area schemes, schedule, and cost estimates
Creating an Structural Drawing Set
• Organized in a project file based on the established CAD standards
followed by the firm

Creating an Unusual Building Geometry
• Helps you conceptualize a building project in terms of its volume, shape,
and proportions before working with actual building elements
Flexibility of Creating Special Elements
• Enables you to create the elements that are designed specifically for a
particular location
• Flexibility of using in-built elements for creating your own elements.
Creating Structural Layouts
• Enable you to add structural elements to a building model
Working on Large Projects
• Can work on large projects by linking different building projects together

Working in Large Teams and Coordinating with Consultants
Worksets can be assigned to different teams working on the same project
and then their work can easily be coordinated in the central file location

Worksharing Using Revit Server
In Autodesk Revit Structure 2014, you can apply server-based worksharing
with the help of Revit Server, which is a server application. Revit Server uses a
central server and multiple local servers for collaborating across a Wide Area
Network (WAN)

Linking Analytical Model To Analysis
• In Autodesk Revit Structure, the physical model represents the
physical layout that consists of structural walls, beams, columns,
footings, and so on. The analytical model is created along with the
physical model. The analytical model is the engineering
description of a structural physical model
• To analyze the analytical model, transfer it into a third-party analysis
software. You can link the analytical model via application
programming interface (API) to several leading industry applications
for building analysis, such as ADAPT-Builder, RISA 3D, Fastrack,
ROBOT Millennium, Sofistik, and others
