After making the RAM to Revit tool, I wanted to make a similiar tool, but with ETABs this time.
I learned a lot making the RAM to Revit tool, but also learned a few things that I would like to do differently given the chance.
MVVM Magic
MVVM standards for …
I'm not really sure what Autodesk Platform Services is or why I should use it, but Autodesk is pushing this hard it seems. The tech looks cool so I figured I would follow their first tutorial.
The first example they provide on APS is how …
The beta release of the RAM to Revit tool has gone well. I have a few people using the tool in practice and have heard some good feedback so far. I am actively trying to maintain this and make it better, so if you have any requests, please reach out. …
The Section Cut Tool got a big upgrade:
- Ability to plot multiple load steps for a load case that contains multiple directions of loading.
- Seismic X, Seismic X +e, etc.
- Currently only supports ASCE 7-16 and ASCE 7-22 seismic loads. If …
Link to trial the tool.
Above is the finished beta release R2R tool. It seems to work for large projects and should be a huge time saver and QA/QC tool as compared to manually checking RAM beams to Revit beams.
If you want to be a …

Retug,
I have a request for the site. For the P&M output into excel, could you add a header with the basic parameters? Width, height, reinforcement provided so the pasting has context as to which output it is for?
Thanks,
Toni

@Toni, this post does not discuss the level of mesh refinement required. The focus is on building an ETABS model efficiently. Mesh refinement is typically evaluated within ETABS by studying the parameter of interest and refining the mesh until the results converge to an acceptable tolerance.
@fpsstructures, I edited your …

Really impressive work combining Three.js with ETABS for a parametric workflow. The ability to quickly generate and analyze multiple tower forms can be a huge advantage during early-stage design exploration. I also like how the structural logic still feels clean and efficient despite the complex geometry.
