Structural Detailing Services means developing detailed drawings for any structure or building. This structure may be a concrete or a steel structure. Structural steel detailing services today can be provided in a much better and automized manner. Software like Revit and Tekla are used for structural steel detailing. Revit structures are used for building designs while tekla is commonly used for heavy industrial structures with typical steel detailing requirements. Revit structures with its new and enhanced features are a great solution to companies providing building design services. These features help detail various structural components such as column, beam, purlins, joists, roof, slabs and foundations. We will discuss more on steel detailing services using Revit structures in this blog.

Revit Modeling Services help develop intelligent 3D Revit Models with accurate dimensions and specifications. These Structural BIM models can be imported to Navisworks to develop structural building construction schedules. Some of these are discussed below in brief:

Advanced steel management tool
This Management tool has been redesigned to fit in the new requirements of Steel Detailing Services or within Revit Modeling Services. Preferred sizes, object property editor, bolts, shear stud, convert databases, units selections are some of the options available for Steel Detailers in the Advanced Steel Management tool.

Export to Autodesk Navisworks
Export to Navisworks has all the advanced steel options placed in it along with their respective tokens.

Powerful tools for tapered beams
In the dialog box of tapered beams a user can choose amongst many options available. This tool has made the use of connections like baseplates and its application to the tapered beam easier.

Creation of weld preparation on beam
We can easily create a bevel cut on the beam by using this feature. Autodesk has also added new beam display types.

These new features have made Structural Steel Detailing Services highly viable, accurate and cost effective. Revit Modeling Services has definitely become one of the most sought after services amongst building design services. Structural Steel design and detailing services has definitely achieved new heights owing digitization of such services.
