As you know, identifying and resolving issues such as unconnected beams, isolated nodes, and other inconsistencies when transferring the Revit Structure model into a structural analysis program is very important and yet time consuming and tricky. Revit Structure 2014 has some great new tools that will help with speedier resolution of these issues. These tools are:
By default, each node now has a read-only property that enables the user to see the connectivity of the node.
- The standard Structural Template now contains two filters that will help with being able to easily identify issues with the Analytical Revit model
