Excitech Revit Toolkit - Coordinate Scheduling tool

Excitech from UK has just released their Revit Toolkit in which contains a very useful Coordinate Scheduling tool.

Quote from Excitech Press Release:

“The first part of the Revit Toolkit is the Coordinate Scheduling tool which is FREE and available worldwide.

 

The FREE Excitech Revit Coordinate Scheduling tool is a powerful enhancement for Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP that will enable users to automatically acquire precise X, Y and Z coordinates from specific Revit objects. This allows users to more rapidly produce schedules of, for example, piling and services; as well as to publish coordinates for complex geometry across 3D space.

 

The Revit Coordination Scheduling tool is currently only available for the Revit 2010 platform and 32-bit operating systems, and is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP and Vista. A 64-bit version will follow shortly.”

Updated CSIxRevit for both Revit Structure 2009 and 2010

 

 

Hi All,

Computers and Structures, Inc., has officially released a new version of CSIxRevit that is compatible with both Revit Structure 2009 and Revit Structure 2010. Since it supports both versions of Revit Structure, CSI has officially renamed the product CSIxRevit.

A list of some of the new enhancements is below:

- Several enhancements have been made to CSIxRevit handle the situation where ETABS and Revit use different standard names for the same frame section property and no mapping file has been provided by the user for this section: (1) European and British sections names are mapped between the two programs in cases where the correspondence is known. This mapping is automatic and two way.(2) When no corresponding section name can be found, a new section or family is created with the same name and given default properties. The user can then define the correct properties for the created section, and the correspondence will be maintained for all subsequent data transfer using that same model. (3) A new ETABS section database file CISC9.PRO has been provided for current Canadian steel sections.

- CSIxRevit for ETABS has been updated to support both Revit Structure 2009 and 2010, and is available in either 32- or 64-bit versions.

- The “Frame Section Mapping” and the “.PRO Files” forms used to show the mapping between Revit models and ETABS models have been enhanced to make it easier to see the location of the ETABS section-property database files.

- The CSIxRevit documentation has been updated to better describe the mapping of deck section properties/families between ETABS and Revit Structure.

- An enhancement has been implemented that allows material properties that have been created or modified in ETABS to be updated in Revit when exporting the model from ETABS to Revit.

WEBINAR: Best Practices for using ETABS with Revit Structure 2009

New 90-Minutes Webinar

Date: Thursday, November 20th, 2008 
Time: 1pm – 2:30pm EST
Cost: $95.00

Computers and Structures, Inc. is pleased to announce a 90 minute training webinar that will highlight the groundbreaking capabilities of the recently released CSIxRevit2009. This powerful new tool allows for data interchange between ETABS 9.5.0 and Revit Structure 2009. CSIxRevit2009 now supports true round-tripping, specifically four different workflows of data interchange.

The following topics will be addressed in the webinar:

• Exporting from Revit Structure to create a new ETABS model
• Exporting from Revit Structure to update an existing ETABS model
• Importing from ETABS to create a new Revit Structure model
• Importing from ETABS to update an existing Revit Structure model
• Importing and Exporting of meshed finite elements.
• Interpreting log files
• Known limitations

Seminar details and registration information can be found here:   http://orders.csiberkeley.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ETABREVIT09
