Structural Automation

Enhance precision, safety, and speed in Revit® structural workflows — automate reinforcement, documentation, and coordination tasks with BIMix tools.

Smarter modelling. Stronger structures.

Structural engineers face time-intensive modelling, detailing, and coordination challenges in Revit. BIMix automation tools accelerate reinforcement workflows, adapt to design changes, and maintain compliance — allowing engineers to focus on quality and safety instead of repetitive tasks.

Our plugins integrate seamlessly into Revit, intelligently managing rebars, columns, and documentation — ensuring consistent standards, cleaner deliverables, and higher design productivity across multi-discipline teams.

Structural Automation

What we automate for engineers

Dynamic Wall Rebar Tool

Automatically places and updates wall reinforcements based on geometry, openings, and design changes — supporting hooks, dowels, and spacing rules.

  • Auto-updates when wall geometry changes.
  • Configurable hook lengths and dowel settings.
  • Ideal for reinforced concrete wall detailing.

Dynamic Column Rebar Tool

Generates and maintains rebar layouts for columns that adapt to type or size modifications with reusable templates for standardization.

  • Template-based rebar configurations.
  • Instant updates when geometry changes.
  • Supports rectangular and circular columns.

Beam & Slab Reinforcement Tool

Automates longitudinal and transverse reinforcement creation for beams and slabs — maintaining precise bar spacing and cover settings.

  • Auto-generate bars by span and load type.
  • Adjusts to level and boundary updates.
  • Integrated with structural templates.

Rebar Tagging & Scheduling

Instantly tags rebars and produces synchronized schedules from live Revit data — ensuring traceability and accuracy across all views.

  • Auto-tag rebars by category and rule.
  • Schedules stay updated with model changes.
  • Links to quantity take-offs and templates.

Our automation process

1

Evaluate workflows

We analyze your detailing and documentation processes to identify automation potential and inefficiencies.

2

Define logic & parameters

We collaborate to set project-specific rules, naming conventions, and reinforcement parameters for your Revit models.

3

Develop custom tools

Our developers implement tailored plugins using C#, Dynamo, and the Revit API to streamline your workflows.

4

Deploy & train

We provide rollout support, QA, and user training for smooth adoption across teams and projects.

Real-world results

Automated Rebar Coordination for Structural Walls

Challenge: Manual rebar updates after every geometry change caused wasted hours and coordination errors.

Solution: The Dynamic Wall Rebar Tool automatically synchronized reinforcements and dowel hooks whenever geometry or openings changed.

Outcome:

  • Up to 70% faster reinforcement modelling time
  • Zero coordination errors across openings
  • Fully synchronized schedules and drawings
