Modify hole instance properties to change the number of holes, hole types, diameter, and more.

To change instance properties, select the element and change its properties on the Properties palette.

Name Description
Structural
Type Specifies the type of hole. Either Round Hole, Slotted Hole, Countersink, Blind Hole, Threaded Hole, Countersunk Hole, or Punchmark.
Diameter Specifies the diameter of the hole.
Number on side 1 (Square sketched patterns only) The number of holes distributed along the longer sketched side of the hole pattern. This number populates each instance of the Number on side 2 parameter.
Number on side 2 (Square sketched patterns only) The number of holes distributed along the shorter sketched side of the holepattern. This number populates each instance of the Number on side 1 parameter.
Length on side 1 (Square sketched patterns only) The length of the longest sketched side of the hole pattern.
Length on side 2 (Square sketched patterns only) The length of the shorter sketched side of the hole pattern.
Intermediate distance on side 1 (Square sketched patterns only) The distance between holes along the longer sketched side of the hole pattern.
Intermediate distance on side 2 (Square sketched patterns only) The distance between holes along the shorter sketched side of the hole pattern.
Edge distance on side 1 (Square sketched patterns only) The distance between the edge of the steel element and the first hole along the longer sketched side of the hole pattern.
Edge distance on side 2 (Square sketched patterns only) The distance between the edge of the steel element and the first hole along the shorter sketched side of the hole pattern.
Radius (Circular sketched patterns only) The radius of the sketched circular hole pattern.
Number (Circular sketched patterns only) The number of holes distributed around the sketched circular hole pattern.

Comments User comments for the element.
Mark

A label created for the element. Possible use: shop mark. This value must be unique for each element in a project. Revit warns you if the number is already used but allows you to continue using it. You can see the warning using the Review Warnings tool. See Review Warning Messages.
