These features allow you to create your own steel connections and store them for later reuse to improve your productivity.īottom Line: Improve productivity by creating your own steel connections and storing them for later reuse. With a comprehensive set of dedicated tools available under the new “Steel” ribbon tab, you can model steel connections based on their requirements. There is no more need to install the separate “Steel Connections for Revit” add-in like it was with the previous Revit releases, as these connections are available out-of-the-box in Revit 2019. Revit users have access to a comprehensive library of 125+ parametric connections, which helps speed up modeling steel connections with an elevated level of detail in the Revit environment. Having a more accurately defined design model in Revit also enables better interoperability with Autodesk® Advance Steel for steel fabrication.īottom Line: Gain greater flexibility in modeling simple and complex steel connections in your structural steel model. Steel components like plates, bolts, anchors, shear studs, and welds can now be placed in the 3D model to connect structural members together.

Use new edit tools to more easily modify structural framing & column elements and apply custom parametric cuts to better accommodate the geometry of elements at a connection. Revit 2019 was just released last week and like all Autodesk 2019 software, there are exciting new features we need to discuss!
