Revit Extensions for Revit® Structure 2009 is now live and available in the Subscription Center!

Dear Revit Structure users,

I am very happy to announce that Revit Extensions for Revit® Structure 2009 is now live and available in the Subscription Center http://www.autodesk.com/subscription. For more information about each extension, please visit http://www.extensions4revit.com.

Please also refer to http://bimandbeam.typepad.com/bim_beam/2008/01/worksharing-mon.html to see how to access to the Subscription Center. I am going to show you some screen captures of what you will see:

Once you click on the "Extensions for Revit® 2009 - Full Package", it will lead you to the overview download page. You can then download the Extensions package in there:

In the Revit Extensions for Revit® Structure 2009 full package, in addition of upgrading/improving all the previously available 16 extensions with full functionalities, it also includes 4 new additional extensions such as Reinforcement of Walls, Text Generator, Element Positioning, and Analysis Integration Enabler (CBS Pro).

Here is a summary of what's new:

Framework

Editing

Remove option

Delete objects generated previously with the use of Revit extensions.

Handling multiple information stored in one host object

In the current version, information can be saved in one object for several extensions. For example, a slab object can contain information on parameterization for reinforcement of several openings in the slab.

New Extensions

Reinforcement of Walls

The "Reinforcement of Walls" extension provides powerful facilities to generate reinforcements for structural walls. The module creates 3D "intelligent" rebar data in Revit Structure in a form appropriate for area reinforcement or with use of re-bars.

Text Generator

This extension enables the automatic generation of text notes in Revit Structure. The generation process is based on text inserted into the extension (from a file or directly from the keyboard) and settings defined by the user. The text can be divided according to separators or maximum size. The arrangement of newly created text notes is based on a table scheme. In addition, documents saved in Microsoft® Word format may be read directly.

Elements Positioning

This module creates position labels for selected elements in a Revit Structure project. The extension allows for:

• Collecting elements and dividing them into categories and types
• Sorting elements depending on their vertical and horizontal locations in projects
• Inserting a Mark parameter string with a user-specified position formula
• Adding tags that display the value of the Mark parameter on views selected by the user

Analysis Integration Enabler (CBS Pro)

The "Enabler" facilitates the powerful bi-directional integration of Revit Structure and CBS Pro functionality. Upon installation of the Enabler, you can dynamically import and export data between the two products.

Extension New Features

Reinforcement

Saving Parameters to a File

Save reinforcement parameterization to an external file as a reinforcement template for future use. All reinforcement modules are enabled to take advantage of this feature.

Compare Models

Automatic Graphical Selection

The newest version of extensions offers automatic graphical selection of changed objects detected in a Revit Structure project.

Enjoy,

The Revit Extensions Product Team

Do you know if future release of the extensions will enable you to use Spiral reinforcement for columns?
Almost 80% of all the (round) concrete columns we do have spiral reinforcement and all the bored piers usually have spiral reinforcement as well.

Thanks for some really good extensions. I really like the Elements Positioning - that will save some time on putting marks on the drawings:)
