In this first point release for Revit 2026 we see some significant improvements to the methods used for analytical automation improving workflows between technicians and structural engineers. Load combinations are now automated and support many different worldwide standards.
Analytical Model Automation in Revit Prior to Revit 2023, the analytical model was generated automatically based on the physical model. While this saved time upfront, it often resulted in inaccurate analytical geometry. Users had to invest significant effort to manually correct these errors and get the model into a state suitable for structural analysis.
With the release of Revit 2023, the analytical model was independent from the physical model. This change shifted the responsibility to the user to create the analytical model, either manually or by using tools like Dynamo Player. However, while Dynamo scripts can assist with automation, they don’t offer a fully reliable or error-free…
