How does Revit Structure work with Revit Architecture and Revit MEP software?
Revit Structure is built on the same Revit technology platform as Revit Architecture. If both the structural engineer and the architect are using Revit applications but are in separate organizations, they can exchange and cross-link RVT format files so each has access to the other’s information as they work. Working on the same Revit platform enables engineers and architects to perform interference checks between structural and architectural elements. It also provides automatic coordination monitoring tools so that each discipline can get an electronic notification each time the other makes a change to a level, grid, column, wall, floor, or opening. Structural engineers who are working with mechanical, electrical, or plumbing engineers using Revit MEP can take full advantage of BIM to share the same underlying building database. Interference checking similar to the coordination between Revit Structure and Revit Architecture is available in all Revit applications for better coordination
