Design intent

Design intent markup

CADS Markup comes as part of CADS RC3D and allows structural engineers to annotate a Revit model with reinforcement information to convey the design intent to reinforcement detailers.

The design intent information contained within the Revit model can also be converted into reinforcement markup drawings. This tool can be effectively used to avoid the process of manually marking reinforcement regions on printed general arrangement drawings.

The markup tool can be used as part of the BIM process. The reinforcement detailer can use the markup information available in the Revit model as the starting point of the detailing process.
