Dynamic Blocks Showcase: Share Your Favorite Dynamic Blocks

[Victoria.Studley]

Dynamic Blocks Showcase: share your favorite dynamic blocks and show us how you made them!

As a follow up to our latest dynamic blocks webinar, we'll post our favorite dynamic blocks here with Screencasts to illustrate how we created them.

Please join the conversation: share your own blocks or get some inspiration from your fellow community members. Let us know how you save time in your designs by using dynamic blocks!

What is the file name of the Dynamic Block you would like me to update?

[andrea_ricciNMVSG]

This is a section of all HEA, HEB and IPE beams shapes. You choose them from a table drop down list (millimeters).

Good moring, everyone, thank you so much for all your life saving dynamic block, I wonder if anyone created one for Chain-Link fence, and can shere

Kind regards,

[uwe.laessig]

So hier?

[bfalconr]

Thank you! Sorry I did't mention I was looking for a top view, I created one but not sure if I did it well, it works, but if you can review and think it needs improvements?

Below "Position 1" is a "handle" (inside the block)-> either pull it out further or disable it (Properties/Number of Handles). Is "Position 1" necessary? With "Position 1", you move everything INSIDE the block! However, the block's zero point remains where you placed the block! This can be problematic when resetting the block! The second zero point is also unnecessary! Only if the zero point needs to be somewhere other than 0, 0.

How is this different than just using a Chainlink linetype?  

[jtohillVY4VS]

This is one I use. Spacing at 10 feet. Could still use some improvement.

I created a Bar Bending Schedule block for the most common UK shapes (00, 11, 13, 15, 21, 22, 51).

You can input the A, B, C, D dimensions and it will calculate the total bar length & weight.

Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing well, I wonder if any one has ever created a structural dynamic bolt, I'm looking for one I can use when makins strucrural steel shop drawings that can give the bolt length needed after place it to bolt two steel members together? Thank you in advance, Bruno Falcon

@bfalconr I found this one ages ago and have added some bits to it as well. See the attached drawing

Hi @bfalconr,

I use this one.  The flats are perpendicular to the screen.  Unlike most which are drawn with the flats in the viewing plane.  I do detailed drawings but only for water/wastewater plant design.  It serves my purpose well.  The sizes are taken from Machinery's Handbook Twenty-First Edition.  They are for a specific bolt type (not exhaustive).  There is a Block Properties Table that you can edit to conform it to sizes you use.

Looks like all my old posts are now anonymous because its been too long since I've logged in... anyone know how to fix this? I probably had hundreds of other posts but I have no idea where they are.

I've been in Revit for so long now and I recently had to come back to CAD for a bit. Anyways, here is a fun one I use for tagging structural columns. It uses a block table lookup to automatically rotate your text into the desired orientation. It also includes a left aligned or centered text option.
