• ISM - Revit to RAM

    I'm trying to test the inter-operability of Revit models into RAM throught ISM, but every time I try to create a new respository, it seems to get stuck on the export bar indefinitely... I'm using Revit 2016 with a simple steel frame model. Does anyone…
  • RE: how to import dgn file to ISM editor?

    Thanks. The file you sent is a general dgn file, aka a MicroStation design file, not an ISM Repository. That's why you do not see any properties for the objects in the file when you view it in the viewer or the editor. I'm not exactly sure what method…

    Hi guys, I wanted to ask if you have any plan for ISM to read staad plates and solid, so that work flow for transfering model from staad to other bentley product such as prostructures or aecosim will be easy, why until now not all model can be transfer…

  • RE: Revit to RAM Elements ISM Question

    The symptom would indicate that the objects in the ISM model are all of a type that is automatically filtered out by Ram Elements. Ram Elements can import walls from ISM (ISM Surface members), but not if they are curved, and maybe not some material types…

  • RE: Unable to export Revit shear/bearing walls to STAAD

    If you are using the ISM approach then yes, it is a limitation of the STAAD.pro ISM link that only linear members are supported, not shells. http://communities.bentley.com/products/structural/w/structural__wiki/5379.capabilities-and-limitations
  • ISM Version 5.0 Capabilities and Limitations

    Following the release of ISM Version 5.0 in September, I have noticed that the last update for the ISM Capabilities and Limitations page was in June of this year and therefore I presume that it does not reflect the capabilities and limitations for ISM…
