Difference Between Floor Plan And Structural Plan In Revit

Hello i cannot understand which is the real difference between making a floor plan and making a structural plan.

Difference between floor plan and structural plan in revit.

An analytical model is a simplified 3d representation of the full engineering description of a structural physical model. This can be extremely useful if you have a large floor plan and you want to make several views which are cropped to specific regions. The analytical model consists of those structural components geometry material properties and loads that together form an engineering system. Where the architectural drawings will show a floor plan the structural drawings will have the overall concrete slab plan.

This video shows you the differences to help you make the right choice. An analytical model of a structure is comprised of a set of structural member analytical models including one for each element. I just made both of them and the settings look pretty much the same in which plan is better to design. Once created the callout type cannot be changed.

The video shows you where the callouts appear in the project browser which is the most obvious difference. P when you create a callout you choose a detail callout or a view callout. The structural details show what holds the building up. Revit provides for this variation with the view direction type parameter for structural plans.

The stuff that gets hidden by dry wall floor tile ceiling tile paint etc. Starting from a floor plan you create a detail callout and a floor plan callout.
