Revit 2024 and Dynamo tutorial – Secant/Contiguous piled wall creation
Autodesk Revit Structure

1w ago
In this tutorial we look at the process and scripting to facilitate piled wall systems with Dynamo. Many projects require piled walls to enable deep basements and water retention. Secant piled walls and interconnecting piles which alternate between hard and soft piles. The soft piles are normally installed first, and the reinforced hard piles are then cut into the soft piles. We begin by creating two family types for the hard and soft piles. The hard piles will need to be installed at each vertex or corner of the piled wall system. Creating the pile family We begin by creating a new family us ..read more

Revit to Tekla Structural Designer

Since the release of Revit 2023, the analytical model will need to be created independently from the physical model. This enables engineers to author a usable analytical model that represents the physical model but has connected geometry that facilitates structural design and analysis. Autodesk have provided some Dynamo scripts that are designed to run in the Dynamo Player that attempt to automate the creation of the analytical model. However, this method is not perfect. Of course, you can create your own script to better represent the analytical model or, if you are a Tekla Structural Design ..read more

Naviate Rebar – New Features!
Autodesk Revit Structure

4M ago
Back in September last year, Naviate Rebar was launched on the Revit 2023 platform as a replacement for the original Naviate Rebar Extension. The ethos and vision of Naviate Rebar was not to simply recreate the tools from the original Naviate Rebar Extension, but to completely rethink how reinforcement can be placed and revised efficiently whilst integrating with the latest Revit technologies. A common feature of the new framework is the storage of rebar named settings and the placement of rebar constraints. Additionally, multiple members can be reinforced simultaneously greatly increasing pro ..read more

Revit 2023 & 2024 –Analytical Modelling Tutorial
Autodesk Revit Structure
by lawrenceh
10M ago
Since the inception of Revit Structure back in 2005, an analytical model has been created automatically when modelling certain physical elements. This, initially, seemed a great way of generating a fast and efficient analytical model that could be exported to structural analyses software such as Robot Structural Analysis or similar design tools. However, as time passed it became clear that this was not the best method of generating the analytical model. Before we look at the new methods of analytical model creation, lets first look at the disadvantages of the previous workflow. Control over ..read more

Now that Autodesk Revit 2024 has now been officially released we can understand this year’s focus and direction from Autodesk’s flagship BIM authoring tool. This year I have chosen to do something a little different and split the videos into two separate areas. I will focus the first video on the Revit platform changes that will benefit all Revit users. The second video will focus solely on the structural changes and new features both in Revit 2023.2 and Revit 2024. Platform Tools User Interface updates This release of Revit gains some significant interface changes in the form of a new ‘dark ..read more

Naviate Rebar unveiled for Revit 2023
Autodesk Revit Structure

Our new breed of reinforcement modelling tools, Naviate Rebar, has been launched earlier this week during the annual Autodesk University conference. Naviate Rebar is built on a completely new framework which utilises many of the new and improved reinforcement tools that Autodesk have introduced such as rebar constraints and rebar propagation. The rebar modelling tools currently include reinforcement generation for Beams, Columns and Walls as well as a series of tools to manage rebar visualisation. I have produced a short YouTube video outlining the main features and functionality of Naviate R ..read more

Revit and Dynamo Tutorial – Placing family instances at world coordinates
Autodesk Revit Structure
by lawrenceh
1y ago
During my years of training Revit, many clients ask if there is a tool to place a Revit family at a world coordinate, perhaps issued by a contractor or a surveyor. In AutoCAD, due to everything being modelled from the World Coordinate System or WCS, this is an easy task. You simply type in the easting and northing. However, Revit’s coordinate system for placing families uses the internal origin which will not be the real-world coordinate. We also must consider the possible rotation of the site in relation to the project north. A simple solution is to use Dynamo to transform the coordinate sys ..read more

Revit 2023 – New possibilities for structural engineers
Autodesk Revit Structure
by lawrenceh
1y ago
A recent change to the methodology of Revit structural analytical modelling has enabled new workflows and capabilities when representing the Revit design model. However, automation is now more relevant than ever, as the analytical model is not generated automatically while the physical model is being built. The massive benefit of this new workflow is that engineers can now create early structural design models in Revit without having to worry about the actual physical members. For example, an early design of a building structure may need some columns and framing to support a floor. However, a ..read more

So here we are early April 2022, the New Year celebrations seems a distant memory, but spring is here, and we all look forward to longer days and some warmer weather! This year, Revit celebrates its Silver Jubilee, commemorating 25 years since its conception! Revit, a software product that originated way back in 1997 and was acquired by Autodesk in 2002, is now a very mature platform at 25 years of age and joins a collection of Autodesk software that we could have only dreamed of in 2002! Much like the previous release, we have seen a bigger drive towards the core platform features of Revit w ..read more
