Upon importing and updating a Revit Structure model, users are given many options.
Users can pick and choose which elements of their ETABS model they would like to import or update.
Mapping tables allow users to set up property mapping between their ETABS and Revit Structure models.
Section Property Data
All section property data in ETABS will automatically be mapped to equivalent section properties in Revit Structure.
If a section property is not loaded in the current Revit Structure library, CSiXRevit will try to load it for you.
If a section property cannot be mapped, CSiXRevit will assign a default property and the user given the ability to set up a correct mapping of the unmapped section property.
Floor Section Property Data
CSiXRevit will map all ETABS floor Section property data to equivalent Revit Structure floor section properties.
If an equivalent floor section property does not exist in Revit Structure, CSiXRevit will automatically create an equivalent floor section property and assign all ETABS floor section parameters accordingly.
Users can overwrite any floor section property mapping that has been assigned by CSiXRevit.
Wall Section Property Data
Similar to floor section property data, CSiXRevit will map all ETABS wall Section property data to equivalent Revit Structure wall section properties.
If an equivalent wall section property does not exist in Revit Structure, CSiXRevit will automatically create an equivalent wall section property and assign all ETABS wall section parameters accordingly.
Users can overwrite any wall section property mapping that has been assigned by CSiXRevit.
Object Mapping
Object mapping is useful when data is transferred between ETABS and Revit Structure, and the 1:1 mapping of data elements has been broken to do analytical model meshing requirements, ie, meshed walls or broken columns.
Users have the ability to very easily remap their Revit Structure elements to equivalent ETABS elements very easily using the object mapping feature of CSiXRevit.
Users have the ability to map the actual Revit Structure objects to ETABS objects.
