There are new features and enhancements in Autodesk Revit 2015 R2 dedicated especially to structural engineers. You can snap to an imported and non-exploded CAD drawing. Similar to the behaviors when placing structural walls and slabs, all structural elements now snap to the geometry of imported drawings. Lear more:'

CAD drawings are used during Level 0, but there is no sharing of the generated information models. Softwares like Aconex or Viewpoint can be used as the CDE. In a few words, BIM Level 1 is focusing on the transition from CAD to 2D and 3D pieces of information. To the contrary, everyone is free to use a distinct CAD model.

Most engineers still produce classic 2D reinforcement drawings using programs such as AutoCAD ® combined with CADS RC. SOFiSTiK involves the annotation side when creating reinforcement drawings in Autodesk Revit.

The topic has become increasingly relevant as the software driving the standard is evolving quickly. (Or No matter.) Why Design-Build?
