New release of CSIxRevit2008 link is now available

CSI has just released a new CSIxRevit2008 link which is now available on their website: http://www.csiberkeley.com/Revit/ 

There were a few change requests that have been fixed from the first release and a few new features that have been implemented. The memory corruption issue has now been addressed as well.

IMPORTANT NOTE: ETABS 9.1.6 is required for this which was also released yesterday.

Several improvements have been made for the export to and import from Revit Structure 2008 using CSIxRevit 2008:

• Member offsets and cardinal points are now imported from Revit to ETABS, however updating changed offsets and cardinal points from ETABS to Revit is not yet functional.

• Floors deleted in ETABS are now updated to Revit.

• Ramps created in ETABS can be exported/updated to Revit as inclined slabs. Inclined slabs in Revit can be imported into ETABS as ramps, however ramps in Revit are non-structural and are not imported into ETABS.

• CSIxRevit2008 has been modified to reduce the occurrence of a memory corruption error in Revit Structure 2008.

• Documentation has been updated.

A new version of CSIxRevit20008 is available for use with ETABS version 9.1.6.

Thank you

New Revit Extension Grid and Level Generator

A new Extension allowing for parameterized definition and generation of Cartesian and cylindrical grids sets in Revit projects.

In addition, columns and footings can be automatically generated at grid intersections, or can be aligned with grid lines in case of beams and walls structures.

Grid network can be parametrically edited an associated 3D model lines representing grid lines may be generated in 3D view.
