It is now possible to edit rebar constraint properties in a 3D view. By creating a Callout, detail views are created to aid in visually specifying connections.įigure 4: Blowup details in Advance Steel (image courtesy of Autodesk) Rebar Rehab Any changes made in Advance Steel will update the Revit model.Īnother new feature in Advance Steel is the addition of Blowup Details. This means that the user is now able to sync the Advance Steel model with the Revit model. smlx format, bidirectional support is enabled from Advance Steel. Revit models are exported to Advance Steel. In Advance Steel 2018, users can migrate specific settings to the new version.įigure 3: Advance Steel custom migration (image courtesy of Autodesk) Advance Steel 2018Īdvance Steel is AutoCAD-based software for steel detailing.

Revit will attempt to identify a custom element’s shape properties and choose the best match steel section shape. Certified steel elements include the section shape and the parameters for Structural Section Geometry are already defined. Revit makes the distinction between Certified steel elements and Custom steel elements in which the Shape Type property is not applied.

If there are customized framing components, the geometry parameters need to be created. Of course, this is all dependent on the parameters in the Structural Section Geometry group (listed under Type Properties).

Some important things to note: in Revit 2018, users are now able to create connections in projects and templates that have been upgraded from older versions of Revit, in custom families, and in families from older versions. The ability to show connections helps to bridge the gap between design and fabrication. Select the components to connect, and press Enter or Esc to complete the connection. To create a connection, click Connection on the Structure tab. Once the add-in is installed, add Steel Connections by clicking the Manage tab ►Settings panel►Structural Settings►Connection Settings. If the add-in is not installed, only the Generic Connection placeholder element will be available. Steel Connections for Revit is an add-in that can be accessed in your Autodesk Account. This year, the developers have continued to add connections-well over 130 new ones. Last year, we introduced new Steel Connections for Autodesk® Revit® Structure.
