BIM and Beam - Revit Structure Blog

A Chicago architect asked for a couple alternative methods for creating non-planar roofs. While browsing, I found this short Revit Structure tutorial; "Structural Framing Underneath a Warped Slab" that I forwarded to him

Credit goes to the Revit Structure blogging team of Nicolas Mangon and Wai Chu authors of BIM and Beam.

I first came across their blog with a May article; "Amazing Structures from China". It was a photo journal of two of the most complex buildings under construction in the world. The "Twisted Donut" and "The Nest". Their construction photos and renderings define a level of engineering and design that raises the bar for future buildings.
