Wood buildings

Anonymous
Not applicable
My company is interested in "upgrading" from AutoCAD 2007 to Revit Structure 3.

Our office does about 85% Wood-framed, custom homes. I've read (and seen) that Revit Structure does steel and concrete well, but, I'm wondering if it is as useful for small jobs (i.e. single family residential) as it is for the large projects. I don't see the need for us to export the 3D model to an analysis program for anything other than large/steel buildings. Is this a realistic assumption?

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

currently HSB-Soft has programmed an export-to-tsl thru API; this tsl is a
native HSB-file;
HSB-Soft/HSB-CAD is a known AddOn on top of AutoCAD/ADT; so in the case of
Revit Series (Building !) you can design in Revit and create a TSL for
HSBCAD which runs on your AutoCAD installation, in there you set your
details and get the rest of documents & lists automatically..

hopefully more teams will do smart things like this...
