7.2.G Creating an Analytical Model

Workflow Update

In Revit 2023 and newer versions, the Analytical Model is no longer created automatically.

So, to use the Analytical Model features, you’ll need to create:

  • an Analytical Model (using the Analytical Automation tool)
  • a special view displaying the Analytical Model elements (using Visibility Graphics Overrides)

To create an Analytical Model for your building elements:

  • Open the Analyze > Structural Analytical Model > Analytical Automation tool in the Revit ribbon.
  • Select and run the Physical to Analytical for Buildings script in the Analytical Automation window.
  • Select the Physical building elements to be converted.
  • Click Run.

To create an Analytical Model view displaying only the Analytical model elements:

  • Duplicate the default 3D view.
  • Use Visibility Graphics Overrides to:
    • Show the Analytical Model categories
    • image
    • Turn off the Model categories
    • image
