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.

RISA-REVIT Link Documentation
Description: PDF documentation for the RISA-Revit Link
RISAFloor 4.1.3.1 Beta
This version of RISAFloor is required to enable the new enhanced functionality of the RISA-Revit 2011 Link.
RISAFloor 4.1.3.1 Standalone Beta Update (143 MB)
RISAFloor 4.1.3.1 Network Beta Update (158 MB)
Note: Version 4.1.0, 4.1.1, 4.1.2 or 4.1.3 must be installed on the computer prior to installing this update. To determine the version number you are running please open the program and go to Help/About RISAFloor. For information on upgrading, please email us at info@risatech.com.
Non-Windows/Manual Network Update
File: FloorServer413_01.zip (147 MB)
Description: This update is a zipped copy of the 4_13_01 directory and does not validate whether an existing valid 4.1.x version has been previously installed on the server. Please unzip and place this file in the same folder as the 4_10_00, 4_11_00, 4_12_00 or 4_13_00 folders to complete the install. However, if it is placed on a system that is not authorized for version 4.1 then doing so may initiate automatic client updates of an older version (4.0.0, 4.0.1, etc.) that could overwrite these previous client installs.

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.
