And there’s more to come! Right now, the team is again updating the content for even more regions. All the mentioned new families are delivered with the Revit 2018 installation out of the box. Most recently, the standard structural steel families were extended for Australia, New Zealand, South-Africa, India and several more European regions like Scandinavia in the spring of this year.

A second step was made with the 2017.2 version in autumn last year, when Japanese and Chinese framing section families were delivered. While the first content release was focused on the United States, Canada and four European countries, we continued to enhance structural content for other regions all over the world – one of the most common requirements suggested during conversations with our international sales partners. At the same time, new framing and column families were shipped with Revit, supporting the connection code check with exact and complete information on section geometry and analysis parameters. With the 2017 release, Revit obtained a new structural detailing tool, Steel Connections for Revit,” an extension that can be installed from the Autodesk Desktop-App to model typical steel connections on framing elements. New content for the Southern Hemisphere and much moreĪs an ongoing process, Autodesk is updating Revit content every year to match the local standards from all over the world.
