Questions & Answers
3.5
How does Revit Structure work with Revit MEP?
Structural engineers who are working with MEP engineers using Revit MEP can take
full advantage of building information modeling to share the same underlying building
database. Similar to the coordination between Revit Structure and Revit Architecture,
interference checking is available in all Revit-based applications for better coordination.
For instance, structural engineers can check for interferences between ductwork and
structural elements, as well as gaining a better overall understanding of the entire
structure by linking the Revit models together.

What about data compatibility between MicroStation and Revit Structure?
Revit Structure provides interoperability capabilities for MicroStation
®
software users.
First, Revit Structure can import, export, and link DGN (V7) format files. You can draw
on imported files to create Revit Structure parametric model geometry. Revit Structure
can manage imported files so that detail libraries in DGN file format can be placed onto
Revit Structure drawing sheets.

Further, Revit Structure can map a specific DGN level number and color when exporting
a view or a drawing. So nothing in the exported DGN file ends up on the wrong level,
easing client/consultant interactions and speeding the design process.

How do I use Autodesk Buzzsaw with Revit Structure?
The Autodesk
®
Buzzsaw
®
online collaboration service is independent of the software
used for building structure design and documentation. Revit Structure streamlines the
process of uploading exported files from your project directly to predefined Buzzsaw
project locations. The project can be setup to automatically save the project to either
DWG or DWF™ file format. Model files (RVT files) can be posted to Buzzsaw for
sharing with the project team just like any other file. A read-only copy of Autodesk Revit
enables users to print and export models that have not been edited, serving as a robust
viewer and file translator for team members who receive Revit models but who are not
using the software themselves. Because Revit also publishes directly to other industry-
standard file formats, team members can share sets of deliverables on Autodesk
Buzzsaw in this way as well.

Can I use Autodesk Design Review markup functionality with Revit Structure?
Yes, Revit Structure supports round-trip export and import of DWF markups for an all-
digital review, markup, and editing process.

3.9
Is there an application programming interface (API) or are there other third-
party development tools for Revit Structure?
Yes. Revit Structure ships with a structural API development toolkit. Subscription
customers benefit from productivity (e.g., rebar macros) and interoperability (e.g., CIS/2
file import) tools developed using the Revit Structure API.
