Creating structural model from archictectural model

Hi!

We’re trying to rebuild an architectural model, so that we’re only left with the structural model which can then be used for further calculations in FEM-design.

The general idea is to look at the material layers of each architectural element, and filter out the materials not specified as a structural member.

From those sub-elements of the wall (the structural elements) we want to rebuild the analytical model. So far we have a means of filtering out the structural materials and keep them grouped by its corresponding wall, but from here we’re stuck and was hoping to get assistance from you guys. How do we remove parts of an element, not specified as a structural material? Generally how do we delete objects from the Revit model (or parts of them)?

Thank you :slight_smile:
