in REVIT and details in AutoCAD. Assuming it is a steel framed building,
get all your major steel framing in the model based on the Architectural
background. It gets too cumbersome when you try to show every nut and bolt
into the Revit model. You could show the sizes of the footings but rebar
and details could be in your AutoCAD drawing. In this manner, you can
still use the 2D standard details.
Structural engineers have adapted the best to BIM since they have been
working with 3D analysis packages like ETABS and RISA for a very long time.
Hope this helps.
