Revit Structure and Revit Architecture
The engineer can visualize the architectural model in 3D (View >> New >> Default 3D
view). The engineer's main interests are: the building levels; grids lines to layout the
columns and structural framing; and the position of architectural columns (used to place
structural columns).
Levels, Grids, and Columns
Efficient tools have been implemented in Revit Structure allowing the engineers to copy
the architectural levels, grids, and columns from the linked file and turn them into
structural elements.
To copy the architectural levels, the structural user displays the building elevation view,
selects Tools >> Copy/Monitor >> Select Link, and graphically selects the linked file.
