Traditional structural processes begin with the architectural drawings, usually CAD-based drawings. But structural engineers that are using Revit Structure and are working with architects using Revit Architecture can directly link to the architectural Revit Architecture file to start their structural design. Sharing the same building information model with architects enables the structural and the architectural design and documentation to stay coordinated. Linking a Revit Architecture file with the Revit Structure model gives structural engineers a starting point for their design, based on the architect's design intent.
