Detailing structural models - Steel

Learn the interoperable workflows between Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Advance Steel. We start by downloading the Autodesk Advance Steel Extension for Autodesk Revit and using it to export the structural BIM data from Revit. We then use that BIM Data in Advance Steel to finish the structural model and create its documentation and BOMs. Finally, we synchronize the Revit model by importing fabrication level steel sections and connections from Advance Steel.

Exporting BIM Data from Autodesk Revit and Importing in Autodesk Advance Steel

Autodesk Revit is the software that most Structural Engineers and Designers prefer to design structural BIM data. However, the steel detailers prefer Advance Steel to detail and document structural design because of the smart set of detailing and documentation tools in it. In this module, you learn how to get Revit ready to exchange structural BIM data with Advance Steel. You then export the structural BIM data from Revit. Finally, you import the structural BIM data into Advance Steel.
