Define how structural framing is connected in your model by using the structural connection command to load and place structural connections.
This video demonstrates the following:
Structural connections allow you to define how structural framing is connected in the model. For detailed connections you need to first install the Steel Connections for Revit add in, available to subscription customers, or another add in containing structural connection definitions. If you do not have an add in with connection definitions installed you will only be able to place a generic connection. In order to place a connection in the model, you must first load connections.
Under the Connections tool, launch the Structural Connections Settings dialog. The available connections definitions from the add-on are listed on the left. The list can be filtered using the connection group control. Find the connections you want to use in your model, select them and click “add” to load the connection. In this example a baseplate and clip angle connection are loaded. Click Connection to add a structural connection. On the type selector, choose which kind of connection to add. A clip angle will connect the column to the beam. Select the members for the connection and press enter to place the connection. A connection symbol is added to the connection.
Additional connections are placed in a similar way. Each connection is represented by a symbol in Coarse and Medium detail levels. Change the detail level of the view to Fine to see detailed connections. Select a connection and then click Modify Parameters on the contextual tab to make changes to the connection such as plate size, bolt numbers, or bolt placement.
Use structural connections to add connection information and detail to your models. Remember, you must first install an add in with structural connection definitions before detailed connections can be loaded and placed in your model.
