Steel Connections for Dynamo

Automatically create structural steel connections in Revit using Dynamo.

Before you start working with steel connections for Dynamo in Revit, review the following:

• Only connections available in Revit are supported.

• Non-standard steel shapes (generally families created by the user) are currently not supported.

• Embedded steel and concrete connections are currently not supported.

• Nested connections - two different connections in the same node, on the same elements are currently not supported.

• Connections that require an input other than framing elements are currently not supported.

  

• Connections that require the system axes of the framing element to be farther than the hardcoded tolerance cannot be placed.

  

• You cannot currently override the connection parameters from the connection type properties.

• You cannot stop a script once it has started executing.

• All structural members need to have associated analytical members, to filter by internal forces or to validate the connection ranges of applicability that have conditions for internal forces.

  Note: Please make sure that the analytical elements have uniquely defined analytical nodes at their ends. You can do this by adjusting the tolerance distance between the analytical elements when using the Analytical Automation command to generate the analytical model based on the physical model.

• When you filter by internal forces, only the force/moment value at the end of the framing element is considered.
