This is stupid because the beams and columns we use&nbsp;(Corus&nbsp;Advance) are part of the Revit library so why are these not certified families so that we can use the connection tool ?&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Does this mean that I will have to update all of our schedules to suit a certified family ?&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Kieran&nbsp;<img id="catmad" class="emoticon emoticon-catmad" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/i/smilies/16x16_cat-mad.png" alt="Cat Mad" title="Cat Mad" /></P> Tue, 22 Nov 2016 09:32:29 GMT Anonymous 2016-11-22T09:32:29Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-structure-forum/2017-steel-connections-problem-certified-families/m-p/6701900#M40533 <P>Hello, I have a problem with the new steel connection&nbsp;tool in Revit 2017, when I go to run the new connection tool it shows none of the connection types in the drop down box and also the modify tool is greyed out. &nbsp;After looking into it further, it seems that the connections&nbsp;only work with certified families which is&nbsp;a problem as we have all our beam and columns linked to our schedules for tonnages etc..
