Project Structure Generator for Revit Structure and Revit Architecture - available now on Labs!

Project Structure Generator for Autodesk^® Revit^® Structure and Autodesk^® Revit^® Architecture software is a technology preview available on Autodesk Labs that provides a connection between massing models and objects created during conceptual design and structural elements such as beams, column, walls, plates. With Project Structure Generator, structural engineers and architects, from the earliest stages, can very quickly create and visualize a physical and analytical model of a structure based on the massing model.

Have you heard about SDS/2 Connect ?

Design Data’s SDS/2 Connect gives structural engineers the ability to design steel connections within Revit Structure and bi-directionally communicate their model and connection information as an active part of the fabrication process. 
More robust than simply an IFC or CIS/2 model exchange, SDS/2 Connect designs connections and gives users the ability to customize these connections inside of Autodesk Revit Structure, and seamlessly transfer building information modeling (BIM) data to enhance the construction process.
