Bracing connection points.

[brian.myers]

In the image below, you can see 4 lines coming to a "point"  at the center point of a beam. These are Braces.

The Magenta (Purple) lines below are the locations I would like those lines to actually attach to.  In short: I would like the top two braces to attach at a higher point and the bottom two braces to attach to a lower point at larger beams.  Traditionally, they always want to attach at the Center of the beam. Unfortunately, we can not have "two" Beam Center Elevations so adjusting the beam center doesn't help. 

In short: Is there a way to do this in Revit?  I've been working with this for some time, I can't seem to raise/lower the attachment point through the properties of the Bracing.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Brian

If you are using 2015 release you can precisely adjust brace end location.
Please click on brace end and select from contextual menu “Disallow AutoJoin” command.
Then drag brace end to the desired location.

Hope that helps.

Can I assume this means it can only be done in 2015?

Our project lifecycles can last a couple of years, as a result this project was started in 2014 and it won't be upgraded.  We can fake it using linework if we have to (just to get the CD's out), but if it can be modeled correctly then all the better.

But thank you for that answer! It's very good to know that we have a solution for the next projects we start.

Hi Brian

You are correct – this is achievable only on 2015 release.
