1 Posts Joined 10/20/2010Entry Type: Issue Category: Building Elements Subcategory: Beam Systems | Wood beam connected to steel column with bolt plate assemblies
I am new to Revit Structural 2011, I have been working with Revit architectural 2010 primarily building footings, foundations, concrete columns and slabs, architectural walls etc. I am trying to find information on putting together a model with a structural system with steel columns using both steel and wood beams. For the connections there will be heavy plate steel bracketry. I am not sure of a good starting point for adding in the variable of the plate steel bracketry. Is there any sort of tutorials out there to outline the process? thank you K |  | | |

Hi Kol,
Welcome to the Revitinfo forum!
I'm not sure about steel bracket tutorials specifically, but I would imagine there are somewhere online. The question is, do you have to pay for them, if so, are you willing to? Here's what I would suggest. Build the type of bracket(s) you require as a generic model family first. Once you get everything working right, you can then nest it into whatever family type you need (hosted, structural, etc). I think the mistake most people make when starting to build a family, is they build it as a hosted object first, and then later realize they don't want it hosted. Just start with a generic model family template, build your geometry, and if you need to, you can nest the family into a hosted family (face based, etc).
As far as specifics of what/how to build the brackets, I wouldn't know because I'm not a structural guy. Given the architecture I have seen, I would imagine there are some pretty standard type of brackets. Seems like there may even be some of these families already built...have you looked on revitcity or seek? A standard "L" type connection shouldn't be hard to build as a family. What I don't know, is the best way to actually apply it to the model, which is where whether or not it is hosted or not will come into play.
Please feel free to ask more specific questions. I'd be glad to try and help you through building a family.
Hope this helps! _______________
