Steel components like plates, bolts, anchors, shear studs, and welds can now be placed in the 3D model to connect structural members together. Having a more accurately defined design model in Revit also enables a better interoperability with Advance steel for steel detailing and fabrication. Standard and Custom Connections.
Construction Specifier

With panelized construction, the structural elements are assembled in (typically) two-dimensional wall, floor, or roof components, referred to as panels, which may or may not be finished. It is important to note that choosing panelization has little effect on the design of the building by the structural engineer.

Construction Cost Estimating
JUNE 17, 2010
Owing to high number of design constraints and intricacy of construction a system known as conceptual cost estimation (also referred to as predesign cost estimation ) has been developed to conceptually estimate the costs for construction industries. There are various techniques available for conceptual cost estimation.

This is the third blog post in a series that discusses the advantages of working on concrete projects in a BIM process for structural engineers. Segmentation is dictated by engineering, architectural, or fabrication requirements, and its reinforcement is determined by the structural engineer.
Revit OpEd

Occlusion Culling (2016R2) - The Graphics tab in the Options dialog offers the new setting: Draw visible elements only. Display of walls - Revit will regenerate walls only for those visible within the drawing area. In 2016 R2 we can provide a Name for a Reference Plane directly in-canvas after selecting it, it looks like this.

Building Information Management
JULY 2, 2012
HVACie extends the existing Industry Foundation Class Coordination View including equipment and system information streamlining construction shop drawing and fabrication. Life-cycle information exchanges have previously been identified in the structural steel domain—an analysis model, a design model, and a detailed model.
