The Span Direction tool enables you to interactively control the span direction of structural decking in a Revit Architecture project. Several features formerly available only to Autodesk Revit Structure software customers are now available in Autodesk Revit Architecture, such as the ability to create curved beams, slanted columns, beam copings, trusses, metal deck profiles, and more. This behavior is intuitive and makes it even easier to work in 3d views, which is very powerful for the design workflow. In 3D views, the align tool can be used independent of the active workplane and can be used to align patterns on non-coincident surfaces.

Revit gives you the ability to control temporary dimension font size and background display (transparent or opaque), thus allowing you to control the custom look and feel of the on-screen display. These features will enhance the everyday design workflow by adding new capabilities, as well as making simple tasks easier to accomplish.

In this blog I will talk about Revit 2011 New Enhancements in Design and Documentation for Revit Architecture 2011, Revit Structure 2011, and Revit MEP 2011.
