There are new features and enhancements in Autodesk Revit 2015 R2 dedicated especially to structural engineers. Improved rebar modeling : When reinforcing concrete elements, you can now place rebar in any 2D view. You can snap to an imported and non-exploded CAD drawing. 3D snapping has been enhanced.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become an industry standard on complex construction projects. As more Construction owners reap the benefits of BIM, more projects add a modeling component. Then you can mold your own model of a BIM professional without any “bad habit” baggage.

Spaces (created in Revit MEP ) can be bounded by elements in linked models, in the host model, or in both. In Revit MEP , spaces use the computation height that is defined in the architectural model. A space understands in which room of a linked model it resides, and it can report the identity of that room. at 10:38 AM.
