Structure Generator Extension for Autodesk Revit 2013


The Structure Generator Extension for Autodesk® Revit® 2013, Autodesk® Revit® Architecture 2013 and Autodesk® Revit® Structure 2013 software is a capability that helps users create and visualize a physical and analytical model of a structure based on the massing model.


With a parametric approach, common data format, and faster model regeneration, the Structure Generator Extension helps users to create different variants of architectural models and helps them to validate the structure of the model. The extension helps to coordinate models between the architect and structural engineer and can help reduce the number of changes required in the model during the later phases of design.


Note: Autodesk® Revit® 2013 software is only available as part of the Autodesk® Building Design Suite 2013 Premium and Ultimate Editions.

Timber Roof Framing Extensions for Revit 2013


Roof Framing Extensions for Autodesk® Revit® 2013 software applications is comprised of two extensions that help automate modeling of roofs in Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Revit Structure and Autodesk Revit Architecture software applications. 


The Rafter Framing extension enables the definition and generation of various types of “A” frame roof models. Another extension creates truss roof systems.


Structural elements are created based on a selected Revit native roof object. Generated timber roof structures can be exported to Autodesk® Robot® Structural Analysis software to perform further structural analysis and design tasks.
