Autodesk Revit Structure
Bi-directional compatibility between RISA-3D and/or RISAFloor and Revit Structure
Overview
Revit Structure users can now leverage the full power of Building Information Modeling by synchronizing their Revit Structure models with RISA-3D and/or RISAFloor. As an Autodesk Authorized Developer, RISA Technologies has created a full-fledged bi-directional exchange link with Revit Structure.
New models can be created in either Revit Structure or RISA software using the information available in the other program. All geometric and design information including materials, family instances, walls, slabs, openings, grid lines, boundary conditions, footings, loads and load combinations can be created/updated/deleted in either of the two programs using the information available in the other program.
The new exchange file method allows continuity of data flow throughout the exchange cycle. Users can add new elements and/or additional design to the RISA model and these changes will be retained in RISA while round-tripping.
The robust Excel based XML mapping file provides the capability to customize the processing of shapes, materials and load cases. A log file is created during every export/import operation giving a synopsis on the number of elements translated and errors/warnings encountered, if any.
Round Trip Features
The link between RISA and Revit Structure maintains geometry and design parameters in both models. Below are parameters that can be added/updated/deleted in either RISA Floor or Revit Structure.

Demo Movie
RISA-3D/RISAFloor-Revit Structure 2010 Demo Movie
RISA-3D/RISAFloor-Revit Structure 2009 Demo Movie
Description: Each movie outlines step-by-step instructions on how to export a Revit Structure model to RISA-3D/RISAFloor, perform an analysis and design and then update the members in the original Revit Structure model. A fast Internet connection and a screen resolution of at least 1024x768 is required.
