Autodesk Revit Structure 2012

Autodesk® Revit® Structure Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for structural engineering provides tools specifically built for structural design and analysis. With the advantage of BIM, Revit Structure helps to:
Improve multi-discipline coordination of structural design documentation
Minimize errors
Enhance collaboration between structural engineers and extended project team members, such as architects, MEP engineers, and owners

- DWG Fidelity Improvements to DWG™ export functionality allow you to map Revit® categories and subcategories to layers in DWG files, giving you more control over layer naming. In addition, you can also map Revit lines, patterns, and fonts to their DWG equivalents
- Family Enhancements Enhancements to Revit® families enable you to export all of the families in a project in order to add content to your libraries. You can also import and export family types from the family editor to create family types more easily
- Visualization Visualization enhancements provide you with more options for displaying your project. You now have the ability to display edges in realistic views and shadows in consistent colors mode. New semi-transparent views help provide clarity in viewing elements within projects
- Analytical Model Enhancements Enhancements have been made to help you create and manage the structural analytical model, including greater control over the analytical model and better consistency with the structural physical model. Specific areas of improvement are:
- Better control of visibility/graphics
- The inclusion of analytical parameters in analytical model elements
- The addition of a surface to floor, slab, and wall analytical models
- The addition of the “enable analytical model” parameter to physical model elements
- Easier identification of linear analytical model end segments
- Improved full edit mode for analytical adjustments
- New model adjustment features allowing for editing via nodes and direct manipulation widgets
- The ability to adjust linear analytical models at each end with new projection and hosting behaviors
- Enhanced auto-detection for the preservation of physical element joins and attachments
- Construction Modeling New modeling tools help you derive better construction insight from design models. Split and manipulate objects, such as wall layers and concrete pours, to more accurately represent construction methods. Prepare shop drawings for fabrication with features that give you greater flexibility in documenting assemblies of model elements
- Model Linking Enhancements Model linking enhancements provide more flexibility in working within large projects by allowing you to tag a variety of elements within linked files. New to this release is the ability to tag rooms, areas, keynotes, beams, and beam systems
- Point Clouds Revit Point Cloud tools connect laser scans directly into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process, helping to accelerate renovation and retrofit projects. By visualizing point clouds directly within the Revit® software environment, it’s easier to author an as-built building information model with more confidence and accuracy
- Reinforcement Enhancements Enhancements have been made to help you more easily define and visualize concrete reinforcement in Revit Structure. New methods for managing the definition of reinforcement as well as controlling its placement have been added, including:
- New multi-planer reinforcement support
- Structural connection category improvements
- Support for hosting reinforcement in generic model families
- More accurate display of self-intersecting reinforcement bars
- Support for attaching stirrups beyond cover references
- Improvements to rebar bend dimension display
- Revit Server Revit Server helps project teams in different locations collaborate more easily on shared Revit® models across a wide-area network (WAN). Better maintain an integrated collection of Revit central models on a single server that can be accessed from local servers. Built-in redundancy helps provide protection in case of WAN connectivity loss
- Worksharing Enhancements Worksharing enhancements help you better understand and collaborate on shared models across the project team. Gain more visibility into element ownership and status to better manage team workflows
