4	Issues in Structural Engineering Industry Efficiency Want more effective use of time and resources Less data entry, transcribing analysis results, general CAD drudgery Easier coordination of multiple analyses with design and documentation Accuracy Producing highest quality, most consistent work possible Spend less time in construction correcting misunderstandings Consistency with architect and other design team members Flexibility Readily accommodate design changes from architect or owner, especially late in the process Want time to explore multiple structural design options before final construction documentation Staying current with technology and staffing experienced people

20	"“Revit Structure is a..." “Revit Structure is a terrific structural modeling and documentation system - we completed a project in three days which would have taken three weeks with our previous software.” Paul Andersen Sr. Structural Engineering Technician Graef, Anhalt, Schloemer & Associates, Inc.
21	"“With Revit Structure" “With Revit Structure, we are reducing iterations with our CAD department, and I am able to spend the time saved optimizing my structural designs. Working with AutoCAD MEP, Revit Structure allows us to more accurately coordinate SMEP systems prior to construction administration. This improvement will reduce the number of future RFI’s, which we expect will result in a higher quality construction and keep our projects on schedule.” Reid Senescu Engineer Arup
22	"“Our plan is total..." “Our plan is total adoption of Revit Structure. It’s going to produce better results for us, better results for our clients, and better results for the owners.” Jim Jacobi CIO and Principal Walter P. Moore
23	"“The intelligence of" “The intelligence of Revit Structure BIM data has greatly expanded our ability to communicate with owners, contractors and subcontractors, allowing key decisions to be made quickly and projects to stay on schedule and in budget.” Rodd Merchant, P.E., LEED AP Associate Martin/Martin, Inc.
24	""We can import typical..." "We can import typical details from our AutoCAD library into Revit Structure; export details created from the Revit Structure model to AutoCAD; and at the same time create 3D models to do structural analysis. In time, all of our designers and drafters will be trained in Revit Structure" Thomas S. Weir CAD Manager Brandow & Johnston Inc. Los Angeles, CA
