Gusset plate to column and base plate

[jgalvarez]

Is there a way to add an end plate to this connector; between the gusset and the column?

This is a detail of the default Gusset plate to column and base plate connector. The Gusset plate at one diagonal connection has an option for and end plate, but this only connects the gusset to the column and not the column and base plate. 

Thanks

Hello,

yes you can.  

- first, in the "General" category, scroll down to find the "Members connection" portion of the dialog.

- change the variable "Connection at member 1" from "none" to either "Plate Bolted" or "Plate welded"

- The category "Member Connection" will adjust the parameters depending on the connection selected 

Best,

Tommy

Tommy,

This was just what I was looking for. Thank you so much for your help!

Revit does not allow me to create this connection "Gusset Plate to Column and Base Plate". I am allowed to pick the column and brace as part of the connection, but there is no way to select the base plate. 

We do most of our modeling in Revit and then export to Advance Steel; this process is pretty seamless. We want to make sure our model in Advanace Steel is synchronized with Revit to avoid some of the clashing issues we have been experiencing in the field. 

I can create this connection in Advance steel, but when it comes time to synchronize back to Revit it is not recognized and there is not way to import it to Revit from Advance Steel. Usually when Revit does not recognize a connection it will just create an in place generic model family, but not for this connection. 

Is this a bug in Revit or is there another way to create this connection at the column base plate? I can create it at other locations in Revit as long as I pick 3 structural members. I don't want to use the "Gusset Plate at On Diagonal" connection because it is not really connected to the base plate. 

Thanks
