Revit Structure Q&A What is Revit Structure? What are the advantages of using Revit Structure? What are the files used in Revit Structure? What is Bidirectional Associativity in Revit Structure?  1) What is Revit Structure? Revit Structure is a purpose-built software for building information modelling. Traditional drafting CAD software represents the geometry of a design by using stylized symbols from designated illustrations. Some examples of these illustrations may be a series of plans, elevations, and sections. These illustrations are essentially independent of one another.  Building information modelling software represents a series of intelligent objects and elements such as walls, beams, schedules, and plan views. These objects and elements have parametric attributes. The information about these objects and elements is stored in a single-building model. You can extract any number of different views of the data from the model. 2) What are the advantages of using Revit

Minimize the use of Revit in-place families. Use preloaded families in the templates or your company project templates. Minimize reference planes or delete it after use. For consideration, careful deletion because some reference planes are used as work plane otherwise name or tag the reference plane. Maintain fewer and only essential links. Especially inserting CAD as an import symbol.  Link only in current view. This is to avoid CAD links to show up in all views. Work at Coarse detail level unless you are working with metallic structures. When modelling, use families rather than groups. (Using groups to efficiently update repetitive elements) Delete unused groups. And it can be done in Paragraph 9 using Purge command or directly from Project Browser. When using copy/monitor. Make it sure that the element is ticked on structural otherwise it is hidden in all view.
