Steel AISC Wide Flange Dimensions
The AISC wide flange shapes provided in the Revit library are per the 'analysis' dimensions and not the 'detailing' dimensions from AISC. The sizes provided in the Revit standard library should be the 'detailing' dimensions as given in AISC. The analysis dimensions are used to do a structural analysis on the shapes (to calculate stresses on the sections), but the detailing dimensions are generally used for the physical design of sizes, clearances, and connections.
This feature would be helpful to have the detailing sizes of wide flange beams, instead of the analysis dimensions of wide flange beams, when designing the physical layout and the design of the connections.
