Affects property
- Not applicable
Technical information - Advance Steel
- The following limitations exist with exports to SDNF:
-
- Problems with rotation/offset for families that do not define parameters named b and h, meaning width and height, respectively. Defining the b and h parameters solves this problem.
- Problems with rotation and offset combinations for beams and columns: Revit API properties do not reflect entirely the beam/column status. For example, in Revit, a beam has a different position/orientation for the same parameters depending in which order the parameters where set.
Technical information - Advance Design
- Isolated / continuous footings are imported as punctual / linear supports
- Nodes are exported from Analysis Model (FE results available) if user option activated
