    Default Structural Metal Deck Profiles - How

    I have made up a Profile Family, changed its category to "Slab Metal Deck", but Revit fails to recognize it when trying to add it into a floor?

    any suggestions?

    Your detail doesn't load because it does not qualify as a profile for a metal deck. The illustration shows 4 examples of valid profiles.

    It seems like this is still a Revit limitation in R2017. any type of arc or circle in the profile to represent hollow core plank removes the profile from being able to work in a structural slab. no risk of the AI replacing us anytime soon
