BIM Q&A | Forward Design in Revit Structure
Please find below three questions regarding Revit Structure:
1. How does Revit generate a floor height schedule? I want to create a detailed table that directly extracts information such as elevation, concrete grade, and seismic grade of components from the model. However, managing this seems quite challenging. Is there an effective way to achieve this? My main goal is to establish a dynamic link between the floor height schedule and the model itself.
2. The dimension annotations in Revit appear unattractive. How can I customize them? Additionally, I want the exported CAD layers and line types to match those used in 2D drawings. What is the best approach to ensure this consistency?
3. Currently, I can automatically arrange steel reinforcement bars in standard edge components like L-shapes, T-shapes, end columns, and simple Z-shapes. However, when it comes to complex node details—such as basements and intricate wall sections—many details still need to be drawn manually in CAD, as Revit struggles to handle reinforcement in these cases. How have you managed reinforcement in such complex scenarios?
