The first set of Revit Extensions are available for download.

Head to the Autodesk Susbscription website for all the new toys. (You will need to login.)

These include extensions for Roads and Terrain, Wood Framing Walls, Excel Based Model Generation, Frame and Grids Generators, Elements Positioning, Freeze Drawings, Compare Models, Text Generator, Content Generator, Shared Parameters Converter and more.

Structural Engineers will enjoy the quick pick reinforcing option available - which we've had fun playing with - and the Grids and Levels extension is pretty neat for the basics.

Revit Architecture
Revit Structure
And Revit MEP.

The CADPRO team is excited about the Revit Extension which allows you to 'convert' a ProSteel model into a format Revit Structure can read.

Simply put, from ProsSteel export your model to a CIS/2 or DSTV format. You can now import this format into Revit Structure. Revit correctly identifies and replaces the ProSteel shapes with Revit Families of the same name - so a 310UB40.4 is replaced with a 310UB40.4.

If Revit cannot find the relevant family you are prompted to find and load one into the project.

With CADPRO's comprehensive Structural Steel libraries in both ProSteel and Revit, the process is quite painless.
