Engineering firm Melia Smith & Jones uses SOFiSTiK software for 3D rebar modelling in Autodesk Revit. 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.
