Connecting our Revit BIM modeling with our structural engineering design workflows has been one of our top priorities at McNamara • Salvia, Structural Engineers.
STACK: C#, .NET, WinForms, Revit API, Boost Voronoi
- Built a tool that analyzes any Revit concrete building model to display tributary areas for load takedown calculations.
- Explored open-source Voronoi Libraries to implement into building a Tributary Area usable with any concrete building modeled in Revit.
- Perform geometry manipulation methods to combine multiple floor elements modeled on a single Revit level to determine overall extents.
- Extract floor supporting elements (columns and walls) without using analytical model properties and feed them into the Voronoi library calculator.
- Determined means of using Area Plan View in Revit to draw Voronoi lines and all related trib area element tags.
