E2R - ETABS Revit Connection Tool

After the development of R2R, RAM Structural to Revit connection tool, I wanted to make an E2R, ETABS to Revit connection tool. Below are some screenshots of the newly developed tool.

I made a youtube video on how to use the tool here. This video goes in depth on each button and things to look out for while using the tool.

The tool will be available on the Autodesk App Store soon hopefully and freely available to download and test out. Please let me know if you encounter any bugs as you use the tool.

The tool works to check ETABS beams vs Revit beams and is ideal for large steel framed structures in ETABS to quickly backcheck framing sizing and discrepancies between ETABS and Revit.

    Retug,

    I have a request for the site. For the P&M output into excel, could you add a header with the basic parameters? Width, height, reinforcement provided so the pasting has context as to which output it is for? 

     

    Thanks,

    Toni

    @Toni, this post does not discuss the level of mesh refinement required. The focus is on building an ETABS model efficiently. Mesh refinement is typically evaluated within ETABS by studying the parameter of interest and refining the mesh until the results converge to an acceptable tolerance.

    Really impressive work combining Three.js with ETABS for a parametric workflow. The ability to quickly generate and analyze multiple tower forms can be a huge advantage during early-stage design exploration. I also like how the structural logic still feels clean and efficient despite the complex geometry.
