I know this has been discussed in the past but I'm still not very clear on best practices. We are just starting to use Revit Architecture 2014. I've noticed that there are structural components and similar architectural components, floors as an example.
Is there really any difference to using an Architectural vs Structural floor? Or would you use a combination of the two (ie Structural concrete floor with an architectural floor on top representing floor finish etc). In our area it is up to us to produce Slab edge drawings for the formwork people as opposed to the structural engineers. And to be honest I would say 95% of the structural engineers in our area wouldn't be using Revit or BIM yet anyways.
So ultimately my question is, as an architect that does slab edge drawings, should we be using Structural or Architectural floors or both, and for what reason?
Thanks,
