See how new settings and options can enable you to click the Import/Export button without worrying about the consequences. This class will focus on workflow between your RISA model and your Autodesk® Revit® Structure software model, including how to handle situations where both models are being worked on simultaneously. Special emphasis will be placed on workflow strategies to ensure that both models remain as synchronized as possible throughout the design lifecycle.
