With the release of Revit Structure 2010 we now have the ability to model some very simple connections thanks to the subscription tools. This is a great way of providing structural connections to prospective fabricators without having to draft them manually. These can then be directly linked in to Revit Structure via a drafting view. You can then create automatic drawings from the parts and ASD then creates separate sheets with all the required fabrication drawings. This is done by selecting all the parts and selecting Auto Positioning. Each connection is broken down into component parts and will require positioning ( unique part numbers). It is then a simple case of creating the various steel connections via the numerous macros that exist within ASD. This will then pass the steelwork to ASD, you can either directly launch ASD or create a DWG file to load later if ASD is not installed on your machine. If anyone is interested in a full tutorial on the workflow in Revit Structure and ASD then let me know and I will produce a YouTube tutorial on this subject?
You first create the steel frame in Revit Structure and then pass this to ASD (AutoCAD Structural Detailing) via the extensions link. This is a great way of providing typical connection details both in 2D and 3D within Revit Structure. With the new extension tools you can now pass your steel frame directly from Revit Structure to Autodesk structural detailing providing you have the extensions installed.
