Voxel Link (VL) was designed by a structural engineer, for structural engineers. Doug Fitzpatrick, PE worked for a firm for 21 years, had his own firm for 20 years, then merged with another firm. Shortly after starting his own firm, his office started using BIM in 2006 when RAMSteel had a working link to Bentley BIM. That link eventually transitioned to another product that, for his firm, became increasingly difficult to understand, was slow, and lacked some super basic things that structural engineers need to produce drawings. They limped along with a very convoluted workflow for years leveraging the old 'link' process. The recent merger ended that workflow when they upgraded to Windows 11.

His firm workflows and fees had been developed using this old 'link'. He made one last stab at trying to get the current product to work for his office (in Bentley BIM and/or Revit) only to discover that many of the issues from the past were still present. So, he set out to create his own version. Voxel Link is the culmination of that effort.

Voxel Link supports transferring and updating data from RAM Structural System steel models into Revit. It is super easy to use, fast, accurate, reliable and can be used to update any amount of changes, big or small, via a simple interface. It also generates structural framing plans automatically (if you want) and annotates them using your corporate standards, not some predetermined configuration. Only elements related to a particular RAM model are examined during updates. All the other miscellaneous framing that doesn't get modeled in RAM is unaffected by VL.

As a point of reference for speed, a 2300 element RAM model takes just under 10 minutes to load all the required Revit families, create all of the Revit elements and plans and generate annotations... Would performance like that have a positive impact on your bottom line?
