Week 8 - Structural Modelling (Adam)

Week 8 - Structural Update After encountering some cross-platform issues between the operation of Revit Architecture and Revit structure, I was finally able to begin working on the beam systems for Levels one and two. The major issue I was having was due to a fundamental difference in the way engineers and architects look at buildings. I was attempting to place beam systems in the reflected ceiling plans for the desired floor,which is how I would expect the program to work after working in Revit Architecture. However the beams have to be placed on the Floor plan of the level they support. This is a classic case of architects considering structure as something above your head, while engineers view it as the structure below the floor. Once this problem was sorted, it was a simple matter of placing joists in between the major framework.
