So, we don't have and use Revit Structure, but since columns, beams and girders are quite important in our design process I'm looking for some workflow methods and best practices for inserting those. As seen in the picture below, we're using this specific kind of structure in almost all of our designs:
- H-shaped columns in or near the facades;
- circular columns inside;
- sloped roofs, differs between 14 to 25 degrees;
- wooden purlins or steel multibeams (tried both inserting beams on a workplane as well as a roof by footprint > sloped glazing).
Initial inserting the different objects might not be the main problem, altering these during the modeling is. From what I know now is that starting from scratch again is just as fast as changing and (re)-checking every element. Not what we intended when we made the switch to Revit as our main design program.
So maybe I'm doing things completely wrong, maybe with some minor modifications things can be much easier, or maybe the bottomline is that we need RST. I don't know, but maybe some of you could point me in the right direction.
