Being able to recycle information from the model saves the project team time and money. Having tools to model the intricate pieces and parts is one thing, but the ability to utilize standard connections and break them out into fabrication elements such as plates, bolts, and specific cuts the fabricator needs to know in order to deliver the pieces to the field for installation is a timesaver when detailing a project. These tools would be used to develop LOD 400 and above in most cases and would be used for developing fabrication-level documents for contractors in most cases.įigure 1: Advanced Steel – Detailed Connections For most engineering firms, the need for these higher level tools are likely a much higher LOD than the standard design intent LOD 300 documents. Keep in mind, the use of these tools will greatly depend on your project’s need to provide this higher level of detail on projects. These features can also be directly linked to the Advanced Steel application for a much higher level of detailing capabilities in the Revit model for improved fabrication documention. There are dedicated tools that help model such features as creating notches, saw cuts, holes and chamfers to steel work that was either not possible or very difficult to do in previous versions. Autodesk has extended the modeling ability of the steel tools by adding specific tools to extend the power of Steel Connections and End Conditions.

Third-Party Application Integrationįor detailers, one of the big enhancements to Revit 2019 is the retooled Steel ribbon.

Some of those integration features have been added with third-party products such as Bentley Engineering software, detailing software such as Advanced Steel, and BIM collaboration tools such as Autodesk® BIM 360®. In this article I’ll cover some of Revit software’s new features and some of the interoperability features of third-party applications that integrate with Revit and help improve workflows. There are many new features to Autodesk® Revit® 2019 that improve its overall performance. Back June 19th, 2019 What’s New in Revit Structure 2019
