Beam/Column Connection in Analytical Model

cv18476 — Sat, 24 Feb 2024 12:53:06 GMT

Hello everyone.

I am having an issue attaching steel beams to columns.Whenever I try to connect the two, the column always appears to be disconnected (the top of the column does not connect to the beams i.e. the nodes occupy different positions):Here's an example:

As I am planning on transferring the model to Robot for analysis, I am afraid it will cause problems.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi. What version of Revit did you use? And was the analytical created with the analytical automation tool? If so did you pick the nearest level option and specified a value there?

Make this value bigger, something like 300mm. That value is in project units. So currently 0.5mm. This will increase the distance that it will look for adjustment to the nearest level. So that should push the analytical model of the beams to the top.
