  • Coordinated and Accurate Concrete Detailing with Rebar Constraints in Revit

    Revit provides tools for Structural Engineers and Detailers for modeling 3D reinforced concrete and generating quantities, shop drawings, and bending schedules in an advanced BIM environment.


  • Autodesk Structural Precast Extension for Revit 2020.1 – The Fifth Element Has Arrived

    Because we know how important investments in automation for precast concrete workflows are, we extended the range of elements that are typically produced in factories with highly-automated production lines, thus releasing the new Autodesk Structural Precast Extension for Revit 2020.1. It delivers the precast double wall, the fifth type of element available through this Revit…


  • Learn the Power of Dynamo for Automated Reinforcement Detailing – Part 2

    In this blog post, I’ll continue the subject I started a few weeks ago. In Part 1 I covered how structural engineers and detailers can automate reinforcement designs with Dynamo in the example of straight rebars around window and door openings. Let’s extend the functionality of the script by adding additional rebars for wall openings.…


  • Learn the Power of Dynamo for Automated Reinforcement Detailing – Part 1

    In this blog post I would like to demonstrate how to automate reinforcement designs with the Dynamo graphical programming interface using the example of standard rebar designs for window and door openings. Revit 2019.1 comes with Dynamo 1.3.3 preinstalled, however the workflows covered in this blog post are compatible with Dynamo 2.0. When you try…

  • BIM for reinforced concrete

    BIM for reinforced concrete – it’s in the details

    Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a critical part of how structural systems are designed and built today, but the reinforced concrete industry has been lagging behind structural steel when it comes to its adoption of BIM. This is due to the highly fragmented nature of its supply chain which requires a number of different designers…
