Structural detail for Revit 1

[SleeplessEngineer]

Does anyone know of any good resource for structural details for Revit? I know Woodworks provides some generic details that was helpful, but hoping for more details.
We are a small firm with just one dedicated drafter and every engineer has to draft. It does not look practical to redraw all CAD details.
Also importing as a pdf defeats the purpose and would lead to going back to autocad whenever to modify something simple.

Thank you for reading my post! I appreciate your time.

We have yet to find a good way to do this with Revit, we still use AutoCAD for details and Revit for plans when needed. We still work with many architects who haven't updated to Revit yet, and almost no mechanical around here uses Revit, so rarely is there a real benefit for clash detection unfortunately.

You can get 80% of the way there by importing the CAD into Revit.
It won't have the smarts of revit, but that last 20% can be handled slowly/as time allows.

Thanks Aesur and Once20036
It seems like there is no shortcut and have to put in lot of resource into transitioning. I wish autodesk made it easier since they own both products.

I started in Revit (2010), and have never really used AutoCAD, except for reinforcement drawings the first years.
But we've never had a big library of details, we have common generic legends, detail families and repeating detail families for annotation.
There was an attempt to have a "best practice" file with premade solutions - but having premade 3d parts isn't always easy to fit other projects.

Everything else I try to extract from the 3d model. I think you have to allow for some "shortcuts" on drawing standards as well if you can get away with it when moving from CAD to BIM.
Reinforcement for instance, after 3D became the standard here - I show it as Revit displays it, without end marks, this information is shown in custom tags, the schedule and sections. And this goes for the entire industry in my region, against current,(outdated) drafting standards..

Multiple Autodesk resellers in Europe also offer addins with templates and families llibrarie that can make the transition easier.
For copying CAD details I would either import them in to legends in my template, or into generic detail families - depending on how often they're used.
If something isn't used in 80-90% of projects, I prefer not having it in my template.
