Overview
In this lesson, students will learn how to add the elements to the building model that provide the structural framework for the building.
Students will start by adding a dimensional framework of levels and grids to the architectural model, and then add placeholders for structural elements that impact the architectural design (such as columns). They will then copy essential elements from the architectural model to a Autodesk® Revit® Structure model and place the key structural framing elements such as foundations, floors, shear walls, columns, beams, and joists.
The endpoint of the lesson will be a structural model that can be used for structural analysis and shared with the other members of the design team.
