Is there a way to bring in base plate designs and steel column loads (at foundation level) from RAM SS to Revit via ISM? A follow up question: Is there a manual or write up on proper use of ISM by Bentley that explains dos and don'ts and best practices…

My company is trying to create a step by step tutorial on how to utilize our RAM to Revit ISM transfer, as we've had some issues in the past and I am in charge of making sure it works. At the moment an error has been occurring during my transfer if a…

I am testing importing rebar from Concept to Revit, and everything is working except bar size. The "rebar material" property in ISM is not mapping to the "primary bar - type" parameter in Revit--they're all coming in as #1 bars instead of the correct…

Hi, We are working on the Revit to Staad Pro Workflow. We want to create the grid in Revit and export to ISM and import into Staad Pro to model some of the structure. When we tried, the grid is transfered to ISM but not into Staad Pro, are we missing…

I have started using ISM so my company can have Revit/RAM interoperability. Currently using Revit 2018.2 with ISM plugin installed and Bentley's RAM Structural Enterprise suite, version 15.04. We have, for the most part, a good grasp on how this system…

I'm new to using ISM and am attempting to transfer between STAAD V8i Select Series 6 and Revit 2016. I've noticed that when I move a Revit model to STAAD, joists are modeled in STAAD as members without section properties. This isn't a big deal, as…

Good Evening All, I have two questions for you today. I know this has come up in the past with regards ISM data exchange between RAM Concept and Autodesk Revit but I have not heard any updates from Bentley or any other sources since so I figure it…

Looking to give the RAM/Revit link another go to see if things are more useable. I installed the ISM synchronizer but upon opening Revit 2015, 2016, or 2017 (after restart), I'm not seeing the Bentley ribbon button. Any suggestions to get it up there…

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…

Question regarding an import from Revit to RAM Elements via ISM. Due to the nature of our project, I am not planning on going back and forth between models but rather hoping to use an initial Revit export to set up a CMU wall design file in RAM Elements…

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…

I'm getting ready to import a large (130,000 sq ft) concrete pan joist from Revit 2015 into RAM SS 14.07.01. During my small scale testing I had the process figured out and solved all or my mapping issues, and issues relating to project base points etc…

I'm about to start a 200,000sf concrete pan and joist building. Our firm uses Revit and RAM SS. While importing/modifying geometry of the framing is more or less workable, one feature that I wish was available was the import of reinforcing into Revit…

I'm having severe difficulties in updating a steel frame design from RAM into the ISM Update Repository as once I've selected my changes the programme starts to update but then hangs and then indicates its not responding. My question is if for such…

Hello, We want to add mapping for UK Advance steel sections. These are very similar to regular BSI UB/UC etc sections. e.g. UC203x203x46 The auto-standard steel section table mapping doesn't have these members (that I could find). Is there a way to…

I've started using ISM for a quasi-round tripping process between Revit and RAM, and have come across a hiccup in the proceedings. For example: -Model is started in RAM -Model is brought into Revit through ISM -Columns are cleaned up (i.e. splices…

I'm trying to bring a RAM SS model into Revit, and while I appreciate the new options regarding materials and deck mappings, I'm struggling with my foundations coming in correctly. I want my RAM Spread footings to come in as a a family type "Footing…

Currently working with Revit 2014, RAM SS Ver. 14-06-01 and using ISM V8i (SELECTseries 4). I started a model in Revit that has an expansion joint. In order to analyze the two structures independently, I exported two ISM Repositories, one for Building…

This is our first attempt at linking RAM and Revit with ISM. The big problem I found was that our roof framing was entered in RAM as flat (and came in to Revit flat), but now I want to adjust the framing to match the warped roof deck. I attached the columns…

I'm trying to use the ISM (Integrated Structural Modeling) to get my Revit Structural Model into RAM so that my engineer can design the project. Yesterday I downloaded and installed the Structural Synchronizer and the ISM tool/add-in for Revit. I also…
