    After the big upgrade this weekend of the Autodesk Discussion server, alt.cad.revit gets a new home. Here's the text from Steve Burri:

    Welcome to the NEW Autodesk Revit discussion group. This group replaces alt.cad.revit as the Autodesk-supported discussion forum for Autodesk Revit customers to share and discuss technical issues related to the Autodesk Revit product. Alt.cad.revit will continue to be accessible for a period of time from the Autodesk Revit product support page at http://www.autodesk.com/revit-discussion, and will of course continue to be available indefinitely on Usenet, accessible through any Usenet news hosting server or at Google groups (http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...=alt.cad.revit).

    Please review the discussion group ground rules and etiquette at http://www.autodesk.com/discussiongroup-groundrules before participating in this forum.

    Additional information and resources for Autodesk Revit are available on the Autodesk web site at http://www.autodesk.com/revit.

    Thank you, and welcome,

    Scott,
    Instead of alt.cad.revit getting a new home, my interpretation is that this means that Autodesk is creating a new discussion group that they will officially support and moderate vs. the usenet group that will be unoffical and open. Perhaps Steve could clarify.

    As a structural engineer, I believe the Building Information Model can provide significant improvements in the exchange of digital building model information with structural analysis, design and detailing software. For example, structural steel detailing can benefit enormously if it is possible to extract certain structural information from the BIM. However, it will be necessary to have a file format that will facilitate this exchange.

    Does or will Revit include export to a neutral file, CIS/2 file format or similar format that will facilitate this critical exchange of building information?

    A statement has been made about the eventual inclusion of IFC compliant objects in Revit. No idea of when this will actually occur. A present you would have to export via DWG and reimport to another program.

    Another structural method would be to export the ODBC and use the information in Excel or similar program. Revit has all the critical values loaded in for their steel and wood structural members

    unfortunately, at this time, Revit does not export location data. I have been told that it is in there, that there is in fact a global coordinate system in the background, but it does not get exported i the ODBC output. It would be hard to do much structural analysis within Revit without location data.

    I believe that this will change in the not too distant future.
