Revit Structure and Revit Architecture
The Copy tool from the design bar, allow users to transform the levels in the architectural
linked file into structural levels for the structural floors. The engineer checks Multiple to
select several instances, uses a window selection from left to right to grab the levels to
copy from the architectural model, then clicks on Finish. Now all the architectural levels
are duplicated and "live" in the structural model.
The next step is to create structural floor plans with grids that matches the architectural
floor plans grid. The engineer selects View >> New >> Floor plan, reviews the existing
level names, selects the desired levels (or typically just selects all the levels) and clicks
OK.
