How does the saying go... "The Road to Hell is paved with...

...good intentions".  Yes, I started this blog back in November of 2010, but I was too busy learning Revit Structure on the job...too do much posting.

Now we've begun another Revit Structure project, and as usual, the schedule is accelerated. So I, in my infinite wisdom, decided to try out the latest Revit to RAM SS link...it sort of worked.


It didn't keep the polar grids together, i.e. the circular grids came across in a polar grid, but the radial grid lines were placed in a ortho grid family.  The concrete walls came thru mostly complete, but I need to pay more attention to the multiple levels from Revit being turned into multiple layouts in RAM SS, making it difficult to easily move multi-story walls or columns.


The lower roof/slab (Green Roof) is warped, due to our initial (incorrect) approach to creating the slope, but, we did manage to slope the upper slab (successfully) with the top quadrant of the arc being the high point sloping down to an angled (in plan) wall.



For whatever reason, we've decided (or rather the Architect) to not have any orthogonal connections, (or so it seems).  Hopefully the second framing pass will allow some optimization of the beam placement.
