This streamlines work processes by enabling better collaboration between structural engineers, connection engineers, detailers and fabricators in different locations.ĭetailers can benefit by better coordinating with engineers and contractors and manage the changes coming from design. With detailed steel design capabilities in Revit, structural engineers can create new types of engineering documentation, perform BIM-based connection design, and produce more accurate bills of material (BOMs).

Having a more accurately defined design model in Revit also enables a better interoperability with Advance Steel for steel detailing and fabrication.īenefit: This new functionality gives you greater flexibility in modelling simple and complex steel connections in your structural steel design. Steel components like plates, bolts, anchors, shear studs, and welds can now be placed in the 3D model to connect structural members together. Revit users can easily modify structural framing and column elements using new edit tools and apply custom parametric cuts to better accommodate the geometry of elements for a steel connection. We’re excited to share these features with you-take a look! Detailed Steel Design Building on Autodesk’s strategy to make Revit a robust model authoring tool for designing and detailing, the Revit 2019 release includes a number of new features that increase modeling versatility, accuracy, and productivity for engineers and detailers.
