Difference between floor plan and structural plan in revit.

You can create multiple structural plan view types and define the view direction parameter differently for each allowing multiple view directions within a project. The analytical model consists of those structural components geometry material properties and loads that together form an engineering system. Hello i cannot understand which is the real difference between making a floor plan and making a structural plan. Revit provides for this variation with the view direction type parameter for structural plans.

Once created the callout type cannot be changed. I just made both of them and the settings look pretty much the same in which plan is better to design. The video shows you where the callouts appear in the project browser which is the most obvious difference. The stuff that gets hidden by dry wall floor tile ceiling tile paint etc.

An analytical model of a structure is comprised of a set of structural member analytical models including one for each element. Where the architectural drawings will show a floor plan the structural drawings will have the overall concrete slab plan. Understanding the difference between the different duplicate views and how they can be used is extremely useful however little used. Starting from a floor plan you create a detail callout and a floor plan callout.

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. An analytical model is a simplified 3d representation of the full engineering description of a structural physical model.
