We work a lot with tensile structures, so the detailing is non-consistent and the blocks are all dependant on a variety of things. Further no BIM program i know has any work on tensile structure and detailing options.
I heard some time back that ixCube was planning to come out with such a system, but i guess thats in the future.
We use rhino for our 3Ds, and most of our geometry of repetitive structures can be worked within grasshopper, and rhino has a very nice history function.
but i am sure with the more complex and standard detailing Nemetschek, TEKLA, STRAP (concrete beam and column detailing at least) are good options. Of course, you will have to work on the drawing set still, since every company has their nuances...
