New service version of Revit Add-In is available

The new service release of Revit StruXML Add-In is now ready and available to download at the StruSoft download page and in StruSoft installer. There are two versions of the Add-In for both Revit 2013 and Revit 2014, and each is available for Win32 and Win64 system.

The new service release 1.0.004 contains following bug fixing:

• Floor, curved walls and isolated foundation elements were not exported correctly at some very specific cases.

Following new features have been added:

• Export of loads and load cases.
• Extended export report.

Please download the newest version of the Revit to FEM-Design manual in order to read more about the new features. The release notes are available here.
