I have a sample frame attached that is similar to one I am working on right now. There are two large gluelam beam that are attached to the side of the frame. My questions is how to get the analytical model to show a rigid link between the centerline of the gluelam and the side of the steel column it will be attached to. I want to accurately model the eccentricity that will occur with the gluelam loading the side of the column instead of the centerline. I know revit can create a rigid link that can be turned on but I can't seam to get the link to work. How is this done?

Rigid links work with beam ends. Try splitting the beam.
