What's New in Revit Structure 2016

-
Truss Cord Location
Revit now presents you with the ability to control the rotation of Truss Chords while rotating Trusses. You are able to have the Truss Chord rotate with the Truss, and allow it to maintain its alignment, or deactivate this setting to have the chords keep their original alignment.

Local Coordinate System
When working in Analytical loads, there are a few updates available with the Local Coordinate System. 

The LCS widget now appears on curved structural objects, rather than just linear objects. And when this widget is placed on an object with a load, the widget will orient itself to display the direction of the load.

Local-Coordinate-System

Area loads have additional features in the 2016 version, which include having the ability to place Hosted Area Loads on arc walls.

Area-loads

Rebar Display Performance
Minor updates have been applied to the display of Rebar for Structural models. Now, when a drawing is being regenerated, only the rebar that is visible on the screen will be displayed.

In addition, to help regeneration speeds, the rebar will be displayed only as simplified lines, regardless of the level of detail applied to the drawing.

You now have more options for placing Rebar in models, such as using offsets or locking rebar to be aligned to a hosted face.

Structural Analysis Toolkit for Revit

There have been many additions to the Structural Analysis Toolkit for 2016, which include a new Gravity Analysis, Performance Analysis and new features for Revit-Robot Integration.
  • Gravity Analysis. Analyze how vertical loads are supported with this new feature. This feature only uses Vertical loads and forces as its factors and discounts the rest.Also use a new system to help view the results of the analysis with the Results Explorer.
  • Performance Analysis. Perform multiple analyses in parallel through the Analyze in Cloud dialog box. 
  • 3D Structure ViewerDisplay the results of static analysis or gravity analysis in the 3D Structure Viewer from the Website. These results will display detailed information that can be used to help monitor the structure of members and surfaces
Revit - Robot Integration
There are many enhancements made for communicating information between Revit and Robot.
  • Determining Level Definitions. Specify which levels to transfer as story levels and which levels as structure axes to the Robot model, while linking the files.
  • Load Orientation. The orientation of Loads for Structures is now carried over to Robot from Revit files, which helps in more useful data collection and scheduling.

How to Save AutoCAD Drawing as Read Only

How to Save Auto-CAD  Drawing as Read Only – is quite a difficult way to answer. The only way to answer this question is by giving different options for the user to Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only. Let’s see some of them below. Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only Some of the different methods are listed below please choose which is appropriate in your case. Method 1 – Use Save As Auto-CAD Drawing Files as DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk), by this method you actually prevent the user to make any changes to your drawing files. Making the Drawing as Read-Only Files Method 2 – Ideally you could right click on the drawing file icon (once saved), go to properties and tick read only. Ahh, well that doesn’t “lock” the drawing or anything. they can still edit it, do a Save As, or simply unchecked the Read Only option for the file once they have it. Method 3 – In case you are on a Network, you can requ

Revit Tip: How to Slope Horizontal Steel Beam

Image
How to Slope Horizontal Steel Beam (with images) Issue: You have an existing beam that has a level as its work plane. You want to set its work plane to be a sloped reference plane, but only the reference planes or levels parallel to the beam are available when you edit the beam. Solution: To make the existing steel beam align with a sloped reference plane. Open an elevation or section view of the beam. Draw a reference plane parallel to the beam/slab using the Reference Plane tool on the Basics tab of the Design bar and name it by editing the reference plane properties. Select the beam. Click Edit Work Plane on the Options bar. Select Name and select the reference plane that you just created from the drop-down menu and then click OK. Draw a sloped reference plane using the Reference Plane tool and name it. Click Align to align the horizontal reference plane to the sloped reference plane. That's it. Bottom-line: After you made it, you ca

The Top 10 Best Things You Can Do In Revit

Use a project file standard template for your projects. This template can be an RVT file with worksets or an RTE file without worksets. Any custom and repetitive element showing more than one view on your sheets should be a 2d or 3d family. These elements take ups less memory space than in place families and are easier to manipulate and store in your Revit library for future projects. Always utilize the 4 steps process of creating families. (a. Create reference planes b. Dimension assign parameters and flex. c. Create extrusion, align lock to reference planes, d. Assign materials, visibility options and flex parameters). Use titleblock sheet templates with parameters. Draw details with details components and filled/masking regions to minimize loose linework and easier revising or editing. Open and audit projects weekly. Keep project file size under 200mb for maximum sync to central speed, reduced network latency and better file performance. Prepare your cad dwg file befor
