REINFORCEMENT VISIBILITY IN 3Dįabric Sheets and custom Fabric Sheets in 3D views can now be viewed as solid or unobscured. The Stiffener connection will only show in a Fine detail level and will not show a connection symbol in Coarse or Medium detail levels.įigure 5 – Stiffener Steel Connection. Apparently, it can be used on I, T and channel profiles, and some (but not all) L profile beams. This connection can be used to reinforce a beam or column section by welding one or two steel plates. A Stiffener connection has been added to the Structural Connections Settings. ENHANCED TOOLS FOR STEEL MODELINGĮnhancements have been made to various Steel Modeling tools. Generative Design is located on the Manage tab. New Generative Design features are also included in Revit 2021. Dynamo now includes some basic nodes for Steel Connections to help you get started.ĭynamo is a visual programming software that helps with automating tasks within Revit and sets up scripting for use in Generative Design. Have you discovered the power of Dynamo integrated with Revit? You do not need to be a scripting guru to start using Dynamo scripts for Revit Structure. A Precast structural template is included in the install, but it is not one of the default options for creating a new project.įigure 3 – Precast Tab DYNAMO NODES FOR STEEL CONNECTIONS It should be noted that Precast dependent families must be loaded – they are not automatically included in the default templates.

Look for the Precast tab with various panels for Segmentation, Connections, Reinforcement, and Fabrication. PRECAST TOOLSįor our precast fans, the Structural Precast Extension is now integrated into Revit. Regarding rebar couplers, they can now be used on tangent, arc-shaped bars when used in circular concrete structures. This is applicable to any rebar in the project.įigure 2 – Modifying Rebar Path Hook Control. If hooks are included in the Rebar Shape definition, the hook rotation will already be set.Įnd treatments can now be added to the end of a bar without using a rebar coupler. Make sure to include hooks in the Rebar Shape definition before placing rebar. This allows for more flexibility (pun intended) in the rotation of the rebar ends. Revit 2021 now includes the ability to rotate the hooks at the ends of the bars.

Modeling rebar has continued to be one of those features that could always use something more. We will take a brief glimpse at each of the new Revit Structure improvements in Revit 2021. With improvements in Rebar, Precast, Steel Connections & modeling, and Structural Analysis. We will explore some of the top features available in Revit Structure 2021.Īutodesk continues to pour into improvements for our Structural users. Back June 17th, 2020 What’s New in Revit Structure 2021Īutodesk’s recent release of Revit includes several improvements and enhancements for Revit Structure users.
