From 2D Drafting to BIM: AutoCAD to Revit for Structural Engineers

🔴 From 2D Drafting to BIM: AutoCAD to Revit for Structural Engineers

📅 May 17 · 8 PM IST – Set Reminder

▶️ The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is rapidly moving away from traditional 2D drafting workflows toward intelligent, data-driven BIM environments. This shift is redefining how structural engineers design, coordinate, and deliver projects with greater accuracy and efficiency.

This session explores the transition from traditional 2D drafting workflows in AutoCAD to Building Information Modeling (BIM) using Revit, specifically for structural engineering applications. Learn how BIM enables intelligent models that integrate design, analysis, and documentation in a single environment, improving coordination, reducing errors, and enhancing overall project efficiency.

Led by Sushil Vishwakarma, Corporate Trainer, this session focuses on practical structural BIM workflows—helping engineers modernize their design approach and improve collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
