Steel Connection in Revit

[babu.rajan]

Hi,

About steel roof detail in Revit

Please see the attached bmp file form other project

1. How can we create connection like that?

2. Bolt and welding how we are showing?

Regard


Babu

Your framing must be on the same plane. You can then use edit beam joins and extend the framing with the end condition arrows to achieve a mitre connection

But you must have the framing at the same plane and the analytical line should be a common point, you can use trim to achieve this

One more thing, that I have tested 100%, but I think the two members have to be the same size. Revit won't miter a W24 and a W12.

Not only do both beams you would like to miter have to be the same size, they must also have the same name. Sometimes a duplicate and rename a beam beacuse I want the tag to contain extra text ie. I change a W8X10 to W8X10 BKT. Revit will not miter a W8X10 to a W8X10 BKT. because their names a different.

Thanks good to know.

Yes that is correct...
I was trying to connect a column to beam mitre connection, doesn’t work.
Is there any other option to connect mitre connection by cutting the end of column/beam by 45% or something?

You could set up a ref-plane and cut the beam using 'cut geometry'
