Hi All,
I am a Revit MEP user and very new to Revit structure... I guess my question sounds silly to you guys but any help is greatly appreciated
I am trying to draw a support frame for my HVAC duct. HSS square hollow sections are used for both columns and beams.
I would like to connect the cornets in a mitered fasion but when I click on modify> Beam/Column Joins no arrows apear in my drawing so I can click on it and get them connected.
what am I doing wrong?

Solved! Go to Solution.
If I'm not mistaken, that tool does not provide miters for a beam to column connection... I think it will only provide a miter from beam to beam. I could be wrong. Please let mek know if I'm incorrect. Thanks.
Sorry about that. You can use a Reference Plane at a 45° degree angle to use the Cut Geometry tool on the column and the beam. That should give it a nice mitered look. I attached a view of one in an elevation of the beam to column intersection
Looks good and worked for me but waste a lot of time to do for every single joint... is there an easier way?
It will obviously depend on what the agreed upon level of detail is required on the project. If your Client is asking for that high level amount of detail in the actual model, I would hope you are being properly compensated to do so. My hope would be that a typical steel framing elevation and typical detail would be sufficient to cover that connection.
