Most engineers still produce classic 2D reinforcement drawings using programs such as AutoCAD ® combined with CADS RC. This software provides automated bar marks, layers, bending schedules and more.”.

Revit MEP offers many advantages compared to two dimensional CAD programs. Knowing exactly what you have in a model at all times and knowing that number is correct, brings a level of confidence that enhances the design. Instance parameters can be different for every instance placed in the model. CAD Shack VIPs.
